Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lightly greasing it with nonstick spray or olive oil.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, honey, olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Coat chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Arrange asparagus on one side of the baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place marinated chicken on the other side of the baking sheet and pour any remaining marinade over them.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Serve hot, drizzling any remaining sauce over the meal.
