Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp paprika

For the Honey Mustard Sauce:

  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard (optional, for texture)

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Roasted Asparagus:

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

For the Cheese Topping:

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar

  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Dish

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Lightly grease a large baking dish or line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry.

  2. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. Place the chicken in the center of your baking dish or pan.

Step 3: Mix the Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, whole grain mustard (if using), and lemon juice.

  2. Brush or spoon the sauce generously over the chicken, coating each piece.

Step 4: Add the Asparagus

  1. Place trimmed asparagus around the chicken.

  2. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Gently toss with tongs to coat the asparagus evenly.

Step 5: Bake the Chicken and Asparagus

  1. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  2. Keep an eye on the asparagus—it should be tender but not overcooked.

Step 6: Add the Cheese

  1. Once chicken is cooked, sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan evenly over the chicken breasts.

  2. Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

  2. Spoon some of the pan sauce over the top and serve with asparagus and your favorite side.

Notes

  • Pound chicken to even thickness – Ensures uniform cooking.

  • Don’t skip the lemon – It balances the sweetness and brightens the flavor.

  • Add asparagus midway – If you prefer crisper asparagus, add it after the first 10 minutes.

  • Use parchment paper – Makes for easier cleanup.

  • Try different cheeses – Swiss, provolone, or gouda all work beautifully.
