skin-on
leaves only
chopped
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, and thyme leaves.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet, skin-side down (if applicable), and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Flip the chicken breasts, pour the lemon herb mixture over them, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends and placing them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven after 15-20 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the crispy-skinned lemon herb chicken alongside the roasted asparagus.
