INGREDIENTS

12.75 oz chicken breast

1 cup asparagus

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

2 cloves garlic

1 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Pat the chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

• 3

  In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and minced garlic until the dressing is emulsified.

• 4

  Place the seasoned chicken breasts and the trimmed asparagus spears onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

• 5

  Drizzle the lemon-garlic mixture over the chicken and asparagus, using a brush or your hands to ensure the vegetables are lightly coated.

• 6

  Roast in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.

• 7

  Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure the meat remains juicy and tender.
