Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200 C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Grate the lemon zest into a bowl and mix it with the breadcrumbs and plenty of black pepper.
3. Slice the chicken breast into even strips or cutlets.
4. Brush the chicken lightly with half the olive oil, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture to coat all sides.
5. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and toss them with the remaining oil and a pinch of salt.
6. Place the chicken and asparagus on the baking tray in a single layer.
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through, until the crust is golden and the meat is cooked through.
8. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the chicken and serve immediately.

Tips

• For an even crunchier finish, use the oven's grill function for the final 2 minutes.
• This chicken stays moist for 2 days in the fridge; reheat it in a pan to keep the breading crisp.
