Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp, fresh leaves thyme
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 bunch, tough ends trimmed asparagus

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp thyme leaves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to make a marinade.
Step 2: Place 4 chicken breasts in the marinade, turning to coat both sides. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F). Brush grates with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
Step 5: While chicken grills, place 1 bunch asparagus on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning once, until tender and slightly charred.
Step 6: Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving with grilled asparagus.
