Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 4 boneless chicken breasts (6 oz each) dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Step 3: Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet, then add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 pound trimmed asparagus to the skillet, stirring to coat with garlic oil, and cook for 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return chicken to the skillet, add 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken.
