Roast chicken breast with rice and asparagus

We bought a package of chicken breasts recently. They were on sale at a good price. The only problem is that they are gargantuan! Our half boneless breast weighed one pound (453 g)! Being so big they take quite a while to cook and tend to be sort of tough. John cooked the breast for 40 minutes at 350F (176C) and kept testing it along the way until it registered 158F (70C). The one breast was ample for the two of us and we even had leftovers.

We served the chicken with some packet gravy, rice, and asparagus. I cut the asparagus into pieces so that it would fit in the pan better. Asparagus is on sale around here for $0.99/lb. and it is so reminiscent of Spring.
