recipe

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Meanwhile, rinse & dry the asparagus. Snap off the woody ends.
  • Step 2
    Pat the chicken dry. Add each thigh to a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil. Season well with all of your favorites: garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt & pepper! Rub to coat all over. Add the prepped asparagus to the sheet tray. Roast in the oven for 15 min.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, drain & rinse the canned artichoke hearts. Pat them dry.
  • Step 4
    Slice the lemon into thin rounds.
  • Step 5
    After 15 mins, remove the tray from the oven. Add the artichokes & toss a bit with the asparagus. Scatter the lemon slices over everything & return to the oven. Cook for 10-15 more min, until everything is well roasted & the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Step 6
    As everything finishes cooking, rinse & chop parsley.
  • Step 7
    Heat the quinoa according to package instructions & serve alongside the chicken & veggies!

Recipe tip

For crispier chicken skin, turn on the oven's broiler setting in the final 5 min of cook time!
