Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on the baking sheet.
Mince the garlic and toss the asparagus with half of the olive oil, the minced garlic, and half of the salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast on both sides with the remaining salt, pepper, and the smoked paprika.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the surface is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
