In a bowl, mix lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

While the chicken is cooking, steam or grill the asparagus for about 5-6 minutes until tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
