Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk well to create the marinade.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken thighs to the bowl with the marinade, tossing to ensure they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 5 minutes while you prepare the asparagus.

  4. 4

    Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Place the trimmed asparagus spears on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the asparagus.

  5. 5

    Distribute the lemon slices over and around the chicken and asparagus. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the asparagus is tender-crisp.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
