Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Pat the chicken breast dry. In a small bowl, combine 10ml olive oil, half of the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional dried oregano and basil. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breast.
3
On a baking sheet, arrange the seasoned chicken breast and trimmed asparagus spears. Drizzle the asparagus with the remaining 5ml olive oil, the rest of the minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
4
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is crisp-tender. Cooking time may vary based on chicken thickness.
5
While the chicken and asparagus roast, gently warm the red sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
6
Once cooked, remove the chicken and asparagus from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7
Plate the sliced roasted chicken and roasted asparagus. Drizzle generously with the warm red sauce.
8
Serve immediately, allowing the rich flavors to meld beautifully on the plate.
