Herb-Crusted Lemon Garlic Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
This elegant dish combines the bright flavors of lemon and garlic with a fragrant herb crust, perfectly elevating tender chicken. The roasted asparagus adds a delightful crunch, making it a beautiful presentation for any table.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt and pepper to create a marinade. Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade.
Step 3: Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and surround with trimmed asparagus. Drizzle asparagus with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and squeeze half a lemon over everything.
Step 4: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
