Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Vegetables:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Rub the mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Prepare the vegetables: Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and flip the pieces over.
- Add the chicken and asparagus: After flipping the sweet potatoes, add the chicken breasts to the baking sheet and arrange the asparagus around the chicken and sweet potatoes. Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Finish roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Serve the garlic herb chicken with the roasted sweet potatoes and asparagus.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for the breasts if preferred.
- For a lower-carb version, skip the sweet potatoes and add more asparagus or another low-carb vegetable.
- Feel free to add extra herbs or spices for additional flavor.
- To make this meal even quicker, you can use pre-cut sweet potatoes and pre-trimmed asparagus.
