How do you make this Sheet Pan Chicken Asparagus?

As we mentioned earlier, one of the best parts of this meal prep recipe is its pure simplicity! To make it, begin by preheating your oven to 425° F. While you wait, line a baking sheet (like one of these fantastic commercial ones from Nordic Ware) with foil, and spray with a thin coating of oil for easy cleanup. Next, arrange the asparagus onto the baking sheet without overlapping. Now place chicken on the stem side of the asparagus,— Remembering not to overlap here as well is important because it ensures uniform cooking! Time to make the seasoning! Do this by mixing oyster sauce and minced garlic in a small bowl, then brush over the chicken and the asparagus. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, which will take about 20 minutes. Serve hot or cold over steamed rice. Delish!
