Description
A comforting and delicious dish featuring tender chicken coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce, accompanied by roasted asparagus and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for asparagus
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grab a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and pour half of the honey mustard sauce over them, marinating for 10-15 minutes.
- Bake the marinated chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), basting halfway with remaining sauce.
- While the chicken bakes, wash and trim asparagus. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, roast the asparagus on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes.
