Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
2–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing or drizzling)
For the Honey Mustard Sauce:
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional for texture)
1 teaspoon garlic (minced or powder)
1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (for brightness)
For the Roasted Asparagus:
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
Olive oil, salt, and pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, Swiss, or provolone cheese
How to Make It:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
Mix the honey mustard sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, and lemon juice until smooth.
Prepare the chicken:
Season chicken with salt and pepper. If desired, sear it for 2–3 minutes per side in a skillet to develop flavor, then transfer to the baking sheet.
Glaze and roast:
Brush the honey mustard sauce generously over the chicken. Add asparagus to the same sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Bake:
Roast for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp of 165°F) and the asparagus is tender.
Add cheese and finish:
In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle shredded cheese over the asparagus (or even the chicken if you’d like) and return to the oven until melted and bubbly.
Serve and enjoy!
Plate your chicken alongside the cheesy asparagus, drizzle with extra sauce if desired, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
