Lemon Thyme Chicken with Asparagus & Tomato

This easy dish is cooked on one pan in the oven. Gorgeous lemon, garlic & thyme flavours.

TIP: We used lemon thyme which is much milder than savoury thyme but either one will taste great. However, savoury thyme is much stronger so you may want to use a little less. Also, the little cherry tomatoes on the vine look great but you can use a few loose cherry or grape tomatoes as well.

Ingredients

120 grams of chicken thigh, no skin or bone

80 grams (small bunch) asparagus

120 grams of cherry tomatoes on vine (or loose cherry / grape tomatoes)

1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) cold pressed coconut oil

Pinch of sea salt

1/4 avocado (40g), sliced

Marinade:

Zest of 1 small lemon

2 teaspoons (10ml) fresh lemon juice

1 small clove of garlic, grated or minced

1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) cold pressed coconut oil

A few sprigs of lemon thyme

Pinch of sea salt

Method

Prepare the marinade by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl. Add the chicken thigh and let it marinate for at least 5-10mins while you heat the oven.

Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas4.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the tomatoes onto the tray & drizzle with ½ tsp coconut oil & a pinch of salt. Place the chicken thigh onto the tray and put them in the oven.

After 15mins take the tray out of the oven and add the asparagus. Using your tongs roll the asparagus into any of the oil and juices that are on the tray, then spread them out and put everything back into the oven.

The remainder cooking time should be around another 5mins. Just checking that your chicken thigh has cooked through.

Once cooked place everything on a serving plate with your avocado. Also, if you like lemon thyme add some extra to the top.
