How To Make It

  1. Heat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan.
  2. Toss chicken and asparagus with balsamic, oil, garlic, pepper and herbs.
  3. Spread in a single layer on the pan.
  4. Roast 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Why it's good for you: Lean chicken provides protein without much saturated fat, and roasting on one pan means flavor from balsamic and garlic instead of salt. Asparagus adds fiber and folate.

Squad tip: Pair any meal with a 10-minute walk to send the villains running. Adjust ingredients and portions to your own health needs.
