Oven

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil + 1 teaspoon
¼ cup lemon juice
6 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon dried parsley
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 lb. asparagus
24 baby potatoes quartered
1 lemon sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, prepare the marinade; mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt and pepper. Place the chicken breast in the marinade and coat each side. Let it sit in the bowl.
Cut the ends of the asparagus off and place on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Make sure the tips have oil on them.
Next, place the chicken breast on the baking sheet. Do not discard the marinade. Add the quartered baby potatoes to the marinade bowl. Toss to coat potatoes then pour on the baking sheet. Pour the remaining marinade on top of the potatoes. Arrange so that the potatoes are sitting flat on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with additional salt and black pepper if desired. Then, place the lemon slices on top of the chicken, potatoes and asparagus.
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes (uncovered) or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the potatoes are cooked through.
Remove from oven, divide evenly among plates and enjoy.

Notes

Make Ahead - You can prep the marinade ahead of time. Save half the marinade for the vegetables and then marinade the chicken with the other half.
Marinade - Make sure you do not let your chicken sit in the marinade for more then a day. The acid from the lemon will start to cook your chicken which will result in rubbery chicken.
Garlic - If you don't have fresh garlic on hand you can use frozen then thawed minced garlic or the minced garlic in water from the jar. For less texture, you can substitute the fresh garlic for garlic powder.
Potatoes - You want to make sure the potatoes are cut in an even size so they all cook at the same time.
Easy Clean Up - For extra easy clean up, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil!
