One Pan Honey Lemon Chicken Asparagus is THE ultimate sheet pan meal, perfect for meal preps or for lunch and dinner!
After proving how much we love lemon with our Chicken Scallopini with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce and the Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken, we couldn’t stop there! 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

Made this for dinner yesterday. Although the flavors were different than we are used to, it was very tasty.
How do you prevent the sauce from burning on the pan!
My fiance and I made this last night…..SOOO GOOD. Will become a staple in our house.
I’m so happy to hear that Lindsay! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!
This dish is delicious, of course I added my own spices and included cubes potatoes, but great flavor. Thumbs up!
Thank you Avadah!
My sauce burned!! ?. Guess this recipe didn’t work for me
I cooked my asparagus for 8 to 10 min turned out awesome!
This has turned into a weekly request at our house! So easy to pull this recipe together and the ingredients are staples I already have on hand.
sounds delicious… are the calories correct? Seems very high.
