Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole lemon
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 300 grams asparagus
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Prepare the marinade by juicing one lemon into a small bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to ensure each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes for best results.
Step 4
Cut the second lemon into wedges and set aside.
Step 5
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Step 6
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 7
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs evenly on the baking tray. Scatter the asparagus and cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
Step 8
Place the lemon wedges between the chicken pieces and vegetables for enhanced flavor during baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with a golden-brown top and the asparagus is tender.
Step 10
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful low-carb herb and lemon chicken tray bake.
