👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and thyme.
-
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and coat them evenly with the honey mustard sauce.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F or 75°C).
-
If using cheese, sprinkle mozzarella or cheddar over the chicken in the last 5 minutes of baking.
2️⃣ Roast the Asparagus:
-
While the chicken is baking, place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet.
-
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
-
Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.
-
Sprinkle with Parmesan or mozzarella cheese in the last 2 minutes of roasting.
3️⃣ Serve:
-
Plate the honey mustard chicken alongside the cheesy roasted asparagus.
-
Drizzle extra honey mustard sauce over the chicken if desired.
💡 Tips & Variations:
-
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes.
-
Add more veggies like cherry tomatoes or mushrooms to the asparagus tray.
-
Use whole-grain mustard for a more textured sauce.
-
Swap the cheese: Try Gruyère or Gouda for a different flavor profile.
