Ingredients
  

  • 1 lemon, sliced into 1/8" rounds, seeds removed
  • 1 shallot, sliced into 1/8" rings
  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 (6-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp. dried oregano
  • 2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 lb. asparagus, trimmed
  • 3 oz. feta, crumbled
  • Fresh dill sprigs, for serving

Notes

  • For juicy chicken, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F; use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking.
  • To prevent the asparagus from becoming mushy, add it to the sheet pan halfway through the cooking time; this keeps it crisp and vibrant.
  • If you don’t have fresh dill, substitute with fresh parsley or basil for a different yet delicious flavor profile.
  • For a quicker meal prep, marinate the chicken for just 30 minutes instead of the usual hours; it will still absorb plenty of flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently in the oven at 350°F to maintain moisture.
