Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) skin-on chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 bunches asparagus, lightly trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk mustard, honey, mayonnaise, soy sauce, vinegar, and 1 tsp olive oil. Place chicken in a baking dish. Pour half the glaze over chicken, spreading evenly.
In a separate bowl, toss asparagus with remaining olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Arrange around chicken in the pan. Roast for 25 minutes. Spoon remaining glaze over chicken and asparagus, then roast 10 minutes more until chicken is golden and asparagus is tender.
Notes
For a heartier side, serve with quinoa or mashed potatoes. For a tangier glaze, substitute apple cider vinegar for white vinegar. Chicken can be baked bone-in if preferred.
Store leftovers airtight in the fridge for 3 days. Best reheated gently in oven (350°F, 15 mins) to retain texture.
