A simple, high-protein sheet pan dinner featuring juicy chicken breasts and crisp, lemon-kissed asparagus. Ready in under 30 minutes, it is the ultimate solution for healthy, fuss-free weeknight dining.
Stewart's Secret: To ensure the chicken stays moist, avoid overcrowding the pan. Use a light touch with the seasoning—the natural sweetness of the roasted asparagus does most of the heavy lifting.

Yes, but adjust your cooking time. Thighs take about 5–8 minutes longer than breasts.
Use thicker asparagus spears and ensure they are spread in a single layer to allow for proper roasting rather than steaming.
The chicken freezes well, but I recommend roasting the asparagus fresh each time for the best texture.
