8 oz. (220g) asparagus

What you need to do:

Add chicken, season with salt and pepper and toss to cover.

Place the chicken and halved lemons on a baking tray inside the heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and browned.

Wait until slightly cooled then chop the chicken.

Heat the coconut oil in a small pan over medium heat and cook the asparagus and green onions for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally.

Divide the rocket over plates and top with asparagus and green onions.

Drizzle with white wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
