Ingredients

12 ounce chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
1 bunch asparagus (woody ends trimmed)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Pat chicken breast dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and garlic powder.
Place chicken breast on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Rub half of the herb-lemon mixture over the chicken.
Place trimmed asparagus on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining herb-lemon mixture and toss to coat.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken breast is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and asparagus is tender-crisp. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety. You can use a meat thermometer to check.
