Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lemons (1 for juice, 1 for slices)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, juice of one lemon, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly in the marinade. Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Prepare the Asparagus: While the chicken is marinating, prepare the asparagus. Place the trimmed asparagus on the same sheet pan.
Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to verify they are well coated.
4. Assemble the Sheet Pan: After marinating, arrange the chicken breasts on one side of the sheet pan. Place the asparagus next to the chicken.
Slice the remaining lemon and arrange the slices on top of the chicken breasts.
5. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Variations & Tips:
- Protein Options: Substitute chicken with other proteins like salmon or shrimp, adjusting cooking times accordingly (seafood typically cooks faster).
- Vegetable Mix: Add other vegetables like bell peppers, red onion, or baby potatoes for a more colorful and nutritious dish.
- Herbs: Feel free to get creative with herbs—basil, oregano, or cilantro can be great alternatives to thyme and rosemary.

Cooking Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions, using water or vegetable broth for added flavor. Keep it warm once cooked.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower onto a sheet pan in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and drizzle the teriyaki sauce over the roasted cauliflower. Toss to coat and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to glaze the cauliflower nicely.
- While the cauliflower is finishing, fluff the cooked brown rice with a fork and divide it among plates or bowls.
- Once the cauliflower is done, serve it over the brown rice, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Variations and Tips:
- Feel free to add in other vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for a colorful mix.
- For added protein, toss in some cubed tofu or edamame to the sheet pan.
- Marinate the cauliflower in the teriyaki sauce for a few hours before cooking for a deeper flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
