One Pan Honey Lemon Chicken Asparagus

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

One Pan Honey Lemon Chicken Asparagus is THE ultimate sheet pan meal, perfect for meal preps or for lunch and dinner!

This One Pan Honey Lemon Chicken is so easy to prepare, its a matter of throwing everything onto a baking sheet and letting the oven do the work for you!

Sheet Pan Chicken

There’s nothing better than only washing one pan! Honey Lemon Chicken is a family favourite, just like this Honey Lemon Garlic Chicken. We’ll cook any piece of chicken with Honey Lemon flavours. So, I wanted to turn that chicken recipe into a beautiful sheet pan meal; one lower in fat and perfect for meal preps to keep our New Years resolutions in tact.

The perfect flavour combination = Honey > Lemon > Garlic > Soy. Combined with the dietary benefits of asparagus.

Some Tips:

    • Use room temperature chicken where possible! They will cook more evenly than refrigerated or cold chicken breasts
    • You can substitute chicken thighs if you don’t like breasts
    • Don’t like asparagus? Replace them with green beans, broccoli, zucchini, or cauliflower!
    • Serve with potatoes or rice. Use the sauce in the pan to drizzle over your chosen side dish

    Loved it! I used carrots and green beans – added the carrots 10 minutes before the chicken was close to done and the green beans 5 minutes before. I also added some olive oil over the veggies since I didn’t have enough sauce to go over it all. Served it over a bed of quinoa. Printed and saved – will definitely make it again.

    Absolutely dead easy, and totally delicious will definitely be making this again.
    I didn’t have room for all the asparagus around the chicken so baked it in a separate pan – think it tasted even better for doing it that was because so much juice came out of the chicken.
    Served it with vegetable rice, but would also be great with Couscous
    Highly recommend as a quick and easy tasty meal.

    Made this for myself tonight as a part of my meal prep. Came out BEAUTIFULLY! I melted butter in the foil lined pan before adding the chicken instead of using cooking spray. It came out juicy and DELICIOUS! Used a bit more lemon juice on the asparagus also. Great recipe and easy to make! Will be making this for my boyfriend soon!

    This was very easy to make – I used green beans because that it was I had in the cupboard. I like the fact that the ingredients are those that one normally has on hand.

    Does this work in a toaster oven? If so, what adjustments have to be made if any?

      I haven’t tried them in the toaster oven. I am not sure what adjustments have to made if any but that sounds like a great idea! Let me know how it turns out! XOXO

    I made a mistake and did not read the recipe correctly and took off the foil after 20 minutes despite the fact that the chicken still was not cooked thoroughly. I had also not broiled. Yet, it came out well.

    How long do you broil after putting asparagus in? I made this tonight and it was delicious, but chicken was a little dry and didn’t seem to absorb the yummy sauce – wondering if I cooked it too long?

      Oh no, I am sorry hun! I usually broil for about 3-5 minutes for the asparagus to warm up and get cooked to softness.

    We have an asparagus patch and it’s in season. I’ve been looking for different ways to cook it since we eat it most every night. I made this recipe last night. Didn’t have lemons on hand so I substituted limes. It was fabulous! Hubby was raving over dinner! Looking forward to trying it with lemons. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
