Ingredients

• Chicken and Vegetables:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 🍗

• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed 🌿

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 lemon, sliced 🍋

• Herb Seasoning:

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp dried rosemary 🌿

• 2 garlic cloves, minced 🧄

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Prepare the Chicken and Asparagus:
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a large bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper.
• Arrange on the Pan:
• Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet. Arrange asparagus around the chicken, and add lemon slices on top of both the chicken and asparagus.
• Bake the Dish:
• Roast for 20 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
• Serve:
• Remove from the oven and drizzle the roasted chicken and asparagus with a little extra lemon juice for a burst of flavor! 🍋

Notes

• For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
• Feel free to substitute chicken breasts, but adjust the cooking time to 15-18 minutes.
• Add some baby potatoes to the pan for a heartier meal! 🥔
