Ingredients:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2

inch pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons extra

virgin olive oil

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool slightly before slicing into strips.

Meanwhile, place the asparagus on the same baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 10-15 minutes or until tender-crisp. Let cool slightly before adding to the salad bowl along with the cherry tomatoes.

In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, basil leaves and extra-virgin olive oil until combined. Pour over the salad ingredients in the bowl and toss to combine everything together evenly. Serve warm or cold topped with grilled chicken strips. Enjoy!
