Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. roasted garlic seasoning or your favorite seasoning blend
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 lemons sliced 1/4" thick

Instructions

  • Tenderize the chicken breasts by placing them between two sheets of Saran wrap. Pound the chicken out until it is 1/2" thick.
  • Season the chicken with 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. of roasted garlic seasoning (or your favorite seasoning blend).
  • Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5 minutes on a grill or on the stove top using a cast-iron grill pan.
  • Meanwhile cut off and discard the fibrous ends of the asparagus (approximately 1/4 of the asparagus). Chop the asparagus into 3" long pieces and toss with the remaining olive oil and salt.
  • Flip the chicken over and add the lemons and asparagus to the grill. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
  • When the lemon slices get a good char on them, set them on top of the chicken breasts so they are no longer on the direct heat.
  • Serve immediately.
