Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely mince the garlic, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. Rub with 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the minced herbs, salt, and pepper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them in a bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and the rest of the herbs, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven. Arrange the seasoned asparagus around the chicken and place thin slices of lemon over the top of the chicken and vegetables.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
