INGREDIENTS
150 grams Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
5 tbsp Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, honey, orange zest, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to form the zesty glaze.
Pour half of the glaze over the chicken, reserving the rest for later.
On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them beside the chicken in the baking dish if space allows or on a separate tray.
Bake the chicken and asparagus for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the asparagus is tender.
During the last 5 minutes of baking, drizzle the remaining glaze over the chicken to intensify the flavor.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, then plate alongside the roasted asparagus.
