Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
• 1 tablespoon regular olive oil
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Optional for serving:

• Cooked white rice or quinoa
• Extra lemon wedges

Materials needed:

• Large oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan
• Tongs
• Cutting board
• Sharp knife
• Zester or fine grater
• Citrus juicer
• Measuring spoons

How to Make It:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels so it browns nicely.

2. In a small bowl, mix garlic-infused olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush or spoon this mixture over both sides of the chicken.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in your oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until lightly golden.

4. Add the asparagus around the chicken. Spoon a little of the pan juices over the asparagus so it soaks up all that lemon flavor.

5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to be sure.

6. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with rice or quinoa if you’d like.
