- 6 Tbsps olive oil
- salt
- peppers
- 4 Chicken breasts (each about 180 grams, ready to cook, with skin)

Preparation steps
Rinse lemons in hot water and pat dry. Cut 2 lemons in half, zest the rest of the peel and squeeze juice. Rinse thyme, shake dry and pluck leaves from 6 branches.
For marinade, mix lemon peel, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil and thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Rinse chicken breast fillets in cold water, pat dry and brush with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, rinse asparagus, peel lower third, cut off tough ends and boil spears in salted boiling water for about 7 minutes. Drain well.
For the vinaigrette, mix remaining olive oil with 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
Lay marinated chicken breasts on hot grill and grill on each side for 5-8 minutes. Cook halved lemons cut-side down on grill.
Distribute asparagus among 4 plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette, lightly season with salt and pepper and top each serving with a chicken breast. Garnish each serving with 1/2 grilled lemon and 2 sprigs of thyme.
