PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on the prepared baking sheet.

• 3

  In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.

• 5

  Drizzle half of the olive oil over the asparagus, tossing to coat evenly, and roast in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

• 6

  Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

• 7

  Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  Remove the chicken from the heat and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over both the chicken and the roasted asparagus before serving.
