In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, half of the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and let sit for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors while you prep the asparagus.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
During the last 4 minutes of chicken cooking, add the asparagus spears to the same skillet, tossing them in the pan juices until they are vibrant green and crisp-tender.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa and plate it alongside the lemon herb chicken and sautéed asparagus.
