Ingredients
For the Honey Mustard Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Cheesy Roasted Asparagus:
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, whisk Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat chicken breasts in the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.
On a baking sheet, arrange asparagus, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
Place marinated chicken in a baking dish.
Bake chicken and asparagus for 20–25 minutes.
In the last 5 minutes, top asparagus with mozzarella and Parmesan; return to oven until melted.
Ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C); let rest a few minutes. Serve with cheesy asparagus and spoon sauce over chicken if desired.
Notes
For a more intense flavor, marinate chicken for up to 2 hours. Add crushed red pepper to the asparagus for a spicy kick.
