Garlic Herb Chicken served with roasted asparagus.

Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (4) chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • (1 lb) asparagus, trimmed
  • (4 cloves) garlic, minced
  • (1/4 cups) olive oil
  • (2 tsp) dried thyme
  • (2 tsp) dried rosemary
  • (1 tsp) salt
  • (1/2 tsp) black pepper
  • (1) lemon, juiced
  • (1/4 cups) grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200 °C).

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tsp dried thyme, 2 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  3. 3

    Place the 4 chicken breasts in a large bowl and pour the garlic herb mixture over them. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the chicken is marinating, prepare the asparagus by placing it on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

  5. 5

    After the chicken has marinated, place it on the same baking sheet with the asparagus, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.

  6. 6

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75 °C) and the asparagus is tender.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the chicken and asparagus. If desired, sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
