Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a small bowl, mix together the juice of half a lemon, 1 tbsp of olive oil, minced garlic clove, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub this mixture all over the chicken breast, making sure to coat it well.
Place the chicken on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the same baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.
Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted asparagus. Optionally, garnish with some lemon zest.
