Honey Mustard Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Cheese
Ingredients:
For the chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
For the roasted asparagus:
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For garnish:
Fresh parsley, chopped optional
Directions:
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 400F 200C.
Prepare the chicken marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for more flavor.
Prepare the asparagus:
While the chicken marinates, place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Cook the chicken:
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F 75C.
Roast the asparagus:
While the chicken is baking, place the asparagus in the oven on a separate baking sheet if needed and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy.
Add cheese to the chicken:
During the last 3 minutes of baking, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken breasts and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Serve the honey mustard chicken with the roasted asparagus on the side. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
