Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

For the Roasted Potatoes:

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme

For the Asparagus:

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Potatoes:
    In a bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Spread them out on one side of the baking sheet.
  3. Season Chicken:
    Pat the chicken breasts dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
  4. Mix Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise (or sour cream), minced garlic, and lemon juice.
  5. Coat Chicken:
    Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet next to the potatoes. Spoon the honey mustard sauce evenly over the chicken, spreading it to coat.
  6. Roast:
    Bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Prepare Asparagus:
    While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  8. Add Asparagus & Cheese:
    After 15 minutes, carefully add the asparagus to the baking sheet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the asparagus.
  9. Finish Roasting:
    Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
  10. Serve:
    Plate the chicken breasts with a generous spoonful of sauce, alongside the cheesy asparagus and roasted potatoes. Enjoy!
