sheet and coat them generously with the honey mustard mixture. Set the chicken aside and prepare the asparagus.
For the asparagus, trim the tough ends and arrange the spears on the same baking sheet as the chicken and potatoes.
Drizzle the asparagus with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the asparagus for an added layer of flavor.
Now, place the entire baking sheet into the oven and roast everything for about 25-30 minutes. During this time, the chicken will cook through.

How to Make Variations
If you want to make this recipe your own, there are a few easy variations you can try. For example, you could swap the honey for maple syrup to add a different kind of sweetness.
This subtle change will give the chicken a slightly different flavor profile that pairs well with the tanginess of the Dijon mustard.
If you’re a fan of spicy food, try adding some chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the honey mustard glaze.
This will give the dish a nice kick, balancing out the sweetness with heat. For a richer flavor, consider swapping out the olive oil for butter when roasting the potatoes and asparagus, adding a creamy, savory undertone to the dish.
For a twist on the cheese topping, you can use a blend of cheeses like gouda, parmesan, or a spicy pepper jack.
Each variety will bring a unique flavor to the dish, so feel free to experiment. Alternatively, you can skip the cheese altogether for a lighter version of the dish.
