Particulars to Share

Step 1: season the hen

Engaged on a sheet pan, combine the hen breasts or thighs with balsamic vinegar, honey, shallots, garlic, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Then season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

Prepare the hen in a good layer throughout the sheet pan. Then add lemon wedges across the hen.

Step 2: the asparagus

Now, take a bunch of asparagus and trim away the woody ends. Place the asparagus over the hen – once more, in a good layer, with pats of butter on high.

The butter will soften down over the asparagus and hen.

Bake every little thing till the hen and asparagus are cooked. Pull the asparagus off the pan and put aside.

Broil the hen and lemon till the sauce begins to bubble and caramelize across the hen. Please watch this intently, because the sauce can burn shortly.

Take the charred lemon wedges from the sheet pan and finely chop them. Toss the chopped lemon with feta cheese, recent herbs and toasted nuts/seeds. I like to make use of cilantro and dill, plus toasted pine nuts.

This combine is so yummy!
