Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 0.5 tbsp olive oil and season with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, almond flour, and garlic powder.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides of the chicken with Dijon mustard.
Press the chicken firmly into the parmesan mixture until evenly coated on both sides.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown.
Place the asparagus in the oven. If the skillet is oven-safe, place the chicken in the oven as well; otherwise, transfer the chicken to the baking sheet with the asparagus.
Roast everything for 10-12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle the lemon zest over the chicken and asparagus, and let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before serving.
