1 Start Preparing the Ingredients
Mince garlic. Zest and halve lemon. Cut one half into two wedges and juice the other half. Stem and mince parsley. In a small bowl, stir together spice blend, half the garlic (reserve remaining for vegetables), 1 tsp. lemon zest, half the ginger, parsley (save a pinch for garnish), 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside for flavors to marry.
-
2 Finish Preparing the Ingredients
Trim woody ends off asparagus and cut into 2" lengths on an angle. Halve grape tomatoes. Peel shallot and cut into 1/4" slices. Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and season both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
-
3 Roast the Vegetables
Place asparagus, grape tomatoes, shallot, remaining ginger, and remaining garlic on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Toss to coat and spread into a single layer. Roast until asparagus is lightly browned and tender, but still bright green, 8-12 minutes. While vegetables roast, sear chicken.
-
4 Sear the Chicken
Place a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp. olive oil and chicken to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until browned, 3-5 minutes.
-
5 Finish the Chicken
Flip chicken and and place pan in oven. Roast until chicken is browned and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-8 minutes. Remove to plate, sprinkle with any remaining lemon juice (to taste), and rest 3 minutes.

6 Plate the Dish
