Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole lemon
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 300 grams asparagus
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the marinade by juicing one lemon into a small bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to ensure each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes for best results.
Cut the second lemon into wedges and set aside.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs evenly on the baking tray. Scatter the asparagus and cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
Place the lemon wedges between the chicken pieces and vegetables for enhanced flavor during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with a golden-brown top and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful low-carb herb and lemon chicken tray bake.
