# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, zest and juice from 1 large lemon, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional), 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. This initial seasoning is key for vibrant Keto Recipes: Delicious Low-Carb Meals & Snacks.
02 -
Add 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat thoroughly. Add 2 sprigs fresh rosemary. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature while you preheat your oven to 400°F.
03 -
While the chicken marinates, prepare 1 lb fresh asparagus spears by trimming the woody ends. Lightly toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Set aside, ready to join your Keto Recipes: Delicious Low-Carb Meals & Snacks.
04 -
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs and rosemary sprigs in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes in the preheated 400°F oven. This ensures the chicken begins to cook through before adding the vegetables.
05 -
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the prepared asparagus spears to the baking sheet, distributing them around the chicken. Return to the oven and continue roasting for another 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
06 -
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the chicken and asparagus rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish your delicious Keto Recipes: Delicious Low-Carb Meals & Snacks with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken for up to 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator if time allows.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently to prevent drying out.
03 -
No fresh rosemary? Use 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed, added with the other dried seasonings. Green beans or broccoli florets can be substituted for asparagus.
04 -
This dish is fantastic on its own or served alongside cauliflower rice or a simple green salad for a complete low-carb meal.
