Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the asparagus with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil and season with a pinch of the sea salt and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and sear for 5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms, then flip the thighs.
Transfer the asparagus to the oven and place the skillet with the chicken on the rack next to it.
Roast the asparagus and finish the chicken in the oven for 10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest before serving.
