Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Glaze
- 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 4 medium red potatoes, cubed
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 bundle asparagus, rinsed and ends cut off
- 3 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet generously with non-stick spray or cover it with foil and spray the foil for easy cleanup.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the glaze is smooth and set aside.
- Arrange Chicken: Lay the chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour half of the prepared glaze over the chicken evenly.
- Prepare Potatoes: Spread the cubed red potatoes in a single layer on the opposite side of the pan. Drizzle with 1 Tablespoon olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake uncovered for 25 minutes to allow the chicken to cook through and the potatoes to start softening.
- Add Asparagus and Glaze: Remove the pan carefully from the oven. Push the chicken breasts toward the center of the pan. Add the asparagus around the chicken and potatoes. Pour the remaining glaze over the chicken and vegetables evenly.
- Broil: Return the pan to the oven and broil for 5 to 10 minutes until the asparagus and potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized. Monitor closely to avoid burning. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F for safety.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your flavorful one-pan dinner!
Notes

- Check chicken temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it is fully cooked.
