This fast and easy One Pan Rosemary Chicken & Asparagus Dinner is low carb, Keto-friendly and bursting with flavour!  This is not a chicken dish for those that don't love tangy, fresh flavours. The lemon in this really makes it zippy and fresh!

Rosemary chicken is a classic taste pairing, but to make it lighter tasting in the spring and summer months ( or whenever asparagus is actually affordable) using lemon and garlic to boost the flavour is key to making this a great chicken dish. Not only that, this is low carb and can be made high fat for Keto diets if needed. The net carbs ring in at 4 grams and there is a lot of healthy fats from using olive oil in the recipe.

 How do I choose good asparagus?

  • Look for firm, bright green stalks. The size doesn't really matter, but I personally prefer asparagus that is medium thickness.
  • The tips should be firm and a bright green or purple hue. This is where they will start to go mushy first!
  • The stalks should not bend, they should be snappy and brittle. Bending means they are starting to go.
  • Look for clean, non-blemished stalks. Take a peek at the photos here.

Mikes Tips & Tricks for Rosemary Chicken

  • I buy lemon flavoured olive oil and it is going to be a staple in your cupboard. Try it with ricotta cheese and bread. You will never eat ricotta plain again, so you don't have to worry that you won't use it up.
  • I prefer using a pan with sides to make sure all the sauce stays around the chicken but a sheet pan is great.
  • The asparagus will over cook if you put it in at the start, so make sure to add it later.

 

Happy low-carb cooking!

Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup olive oil I used lemon flavoured for a SUPER lemon boost!
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tbsp dried rosemary or 1/3 cup fresh
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 lb of fresh asparagus washed and trimmed
  • extra sea salt and pepper for serving

Instructions
 

  • Combine the first five ingredients in a food processor - or in a container that you can use a hand blender in- and process until creamy and smooth.
  • Place the chicken in a container and using 1/3 of the sauce, baste. Cover the chicken and the remaining sauce and refrigerate for a few hours.
  • To cook, preheat your oven to 350 °F.
  • Remove the chicken from the fridge and place on a large baking sheet or large pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then add the asparagus to the pan. Take the remaining sauce and re-baste the chicken and baste the asparagus as well.
  • Cook until the chicken reaches 165 °F.
  • Remove and serve!
