Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200 °C).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
