Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients: Mix 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 clove garlic (crushed), 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated), 1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce, 2 tablespoons orange juice and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl or jar. Clean and trim the asparagus.
  • Remove 3 tablespoons of the marinade and reserve it for the asparagus. Place the chicken breasts into a nonreactive dish such as a pyrex or glass dish and pour the remaining marinade over the chicken; marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place the chicken breasts onto a baking sheet and into a preheated 400 degree f oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and arrange the asparagus on the baking sheet. Brush it with the remaining marinade mixture and place it back into the oven; bake for 15 minutes longer or until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees) and the asparagus is tender.

Notes

Serving suggestions:
Sheet pan asparagus and chicken is essentially a full and healthy dinner by itself. But you can serve it with baked potatoes, roasted potatoes, or steamed white or brown rice for a complete meal. The starchy sides complement the asparagus and chicken nicely, turning it into a hearty, satisfying dinner.
Tips
    • Get a jump start and marinate the chicken the night before.
    • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken which should be at least 165 degrees f.
    • Line the sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup!
Substitutes:
  • Fresh ginger - 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Honey - An equal amount maple syrup, brown rice syrup or brown sugar.
  • Boneless chicken breasts - Boneless chicken thighs, boneless pork chops, chicken tenders, turkey cutlets, salmon, tofu, tempeh.
  • Soy sauce - Tamari sauce, coconut aminos
