- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat it with nonstick spray.

- Combine Everything: Pour the balsamic mixture over both the chicken and asparagus.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and asparagus is tender yet crisp.
