  • 3 cloves garlic, finely grated or minced
  • 1½ tsp. salt, divided
  • ¾ tsp. black pepper, divided

Instructions

  2. Add chicken to remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover and marinate chicken at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  4. Remove chicken from yogurt marinade and place onto one half of the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
  5. Toss asparagus with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper and place onto the other half of the pan.
  6. Drizzle butter over asparagus and sprinkle Parmesan evenly over chicken and asparagus.
  7. Roast, flipping asparagus halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F and asparagus is tender with crisp edges, about 18-22 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with parsley. Drizzle with lemon wedges, and serve with reserved marinade mixture for dipping.
