Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (about 5 oz each)
- 1 bunch of fresh asparagus
- 1 fresh lemon, sliced
- 1 bunch of fresh rosemary
- lemon pepper seasoning
- sea salt, if desired
Instructions
- For each serving: Season both sides of chicken breast with lemon pepper seasoning. Place one breast onto a 12" by 12" sheet of foil that has been lightly coated with olive oil or coconut oil.
- Add 5-6 asparagus spears next to each chicken breast. Then add a sprig of rosemary and a slice of lemon. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
- Fold the edges of the foil over the chicken and asparagus to tightly seal. Repeat for each serving. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and reaches 160 degrees. Remove from oven and let rest for about 5 minutes before opening. Carefully open foil packet as contents will be hot!
Notes
(A) Larger chicken breasts will require longer baking time so please keep in mind and use a cooking thermometer. (B) This recipe calls for asparagus but you can also use green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, or whatever your favorite vegetable is
