Honey Mustard Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Cheese

by

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard (optional for texture)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Roasted Asparagus:

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan or mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), honey, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes if time allows.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  5. Roast the chicken in the oven for 20–25 minutes or until cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
  6. After the chicken has been in the oven for 10 minutes, add the asparagus tray. Roast for about 12–15 minutes or until just tender.
  7. In the last 3–5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle cheese over the asparagus and return to the oven until melted and bubbly.
  8. Plate the chicken alongside the cheesy roasted asparagus. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken if desired.

Enjoy your sweet, tangy, and savory meal!
