Ingredients

  • Olive oil spray (for greasing)
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pinch salt (to season)
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (divided)
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • 37-40 asparagus spears, woody ends removed
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat & Prepare

  • Position the oven rack in the middle and preheat to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
  • Place the chicken breasts on the sheet and season with a pinch of salt.

Make the Glaze

  • In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, honey, soy sauce (if using), garlic, half of the parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour ¾ of the mixture over the chicken. Arrange lemon slices on top.
  • Add extra salt and pepper if desired.

Bake the Chicken

  • Cover the baking sheet with foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is almost cooked through.

Add Asparagus & Finish Cooking

  • Remove the foil, arrange asparagus around the chicken, and drizzle the remaining honey-lemon mixture over the asparagus.
  • Season the asparagus with salt and pepper.
  • Return to the oven and broil or grill until the chicken is golden brown and asparagus is tender.

Garnish & Serve

  • Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the dish.
  • Serve warm with rice, potatoes, or your favorite side.

Notes

  • Inspired by the Honey Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipe.
  • For extra caramelization, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes before serving.
