This Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken with Steamed Asparagus is a simple yet delicious meal that’s packed with fresh flavors. The zesty lemon and fragrant herbs bring out the best in the juicy grilled chicken, while the tender steamed asparagus makes it a perfect light dinner for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 tsp fresh thyme (or dried)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 lb asparagus, trimmed

• Lemon wedges for garnish

Directions

• In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 10 minutes.

  

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and charred on the edges.

• While the chicken grills, steam the asparagus for 4-5 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.

• Serve the grilled chicken alongside the steamed asparagus, garnishing with fresh lemon wedges and herbs if desired.

  

• Enjoy immediately with your favorite side salad or a light grain.
