Honey Mustard Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Cheese

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed

1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese

3 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp whole grain mustard

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Sear the Chicken: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear on each side for 2–3 minutes until golden.

Assemble and Roast: Remove skillet from heat. Brush the honey mustard sauce generously over each chicken breast. Arrange trimmed asparagus around the chicken in the skillet. Top everything with shredded cheese.

Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and asparagus is tender.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm for a balanced, flavorful dinner.
