An easy, healthy and delicious baked Maple Dijon glazed Chicken Breast with Asparagus on the side. All the oven-fresh flavor and nutrition ready in under 30 minutes!
I may or may not have accidentally purchased over 10lbs of chicken, so I’m on an all-chicken-everything rampage right now.
I’d been meaning to do a maple dijon something - salmon to be more specific - but those filets were too far back in my freezer. So it was either emptying out everything in front and having to play a game of tetris to fit it all back, or make some good use of all that chicken.
Easy way out always.

Instructions
Prep:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut a 12 x 8 inch sheet of heavy-duty foil and fold up all 4 sides of the foil to make a container shape. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.

Cook:

- In a small bowl stir together melted butter, maple syrup, dijon mustard and garlic.
- Pour ⅓ the sauce in the foil container, place chicken on, and move around to coat bottom.
- Pour ⅓ sauce over chicken and spread evenly. Reserve ⅓ sauce.
- Arrange asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet, beside the foil bowl.
- Spread remaining melted butter and garlic over asparagus, sprinkle on salt and pepper, and use hands or tongs to mix well.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and asparagus is crisp-tender.
- Top with reserved sauce and serve!
