Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to create the glaze. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with paprika, the remaining salt, and pepper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken and rub it in.
Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the asparagus and toss to coat. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, flipping once, until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C). During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the honey balsamic glaze generously over each chicken breast.
While the chicken is grilling, place the asparagus on the grill grates perpendicular to the bars to prevent them from falling through. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Remove the chicken and asparagus from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled asparagus for extra brightness.
Serve the grilled chicken breasts alongside the asparagus and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
