Sheet Pan Honey Apricot Chicken and Asparagus
Report
This honey apricot chicken only requires 10 minutes prep and is full of flavor! Better yet it's all made on one pan so there's less cleaning up involved too!

Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs. total)
- ¼ cup orange juice freshly squeezed
- ¼ cup apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce can substitute with tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option
- ½ teaspoon salt or more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb. asparagus about 1 bunch, woody ends removed
- parsley for garnish, chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven 400°F (200C). Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place chicken breasts in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, apricot preserves, honey, garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Pour about ½ cup of the apricot dressing over the chicken, reserving ¼ cup for later.
- Bake chicken for about 20 minutes, or until almost cooked through.
- Remove pan from the oven and switch oven setting to BROIL.
- Place asparagus on the tray around the chicken. Baste chicken and asparagus with remaining apricot dressing.
- Place tray under the broiler and cook for an additional 6 minutes, or until asparagus is tender and chicken is crispy.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
Notes
- Cooking for Two? This is a perfect meal to scale down for smaller quantities. Just cook one or two chicken breasts on your tray and cut the rest of the ingredients in half as well!
- Want to Prep Ahead? Make the apricot sauce in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also trim and wash the asparagus ahead of time so that when you're ready to make dinner, there's absolutely NO prep work necessary -- just place on the tray and bake!

- If you're not a fan of parsley, basil is another herb that will go really well with this apricot chicken.
