Lemon Dijon Crusted Chicken with Roasted Asparagus

How to make it

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Pat the chicken breasts completely dry with a paper towel. This helps the mustard stick beautifully.

3. 3

   Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.

4. 4

   In a shallow dish, place the almond flour. Dredge each mustard-coated chicken breast in the almond flour, pressing gently to ensure it is fully coated.

5. 5

   Arrange the crusted chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Toss the asparagus spears with a little olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place them around the chicken on the same baking sheet.

6. 6

   Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender and crisp. A meat thermometer should read 165°F (74°C) for the chicken.

7. 7

   While the chicken bakes, slice the lemon in half. Once your dish is ready, squeeze fresh lemon juice generously over the chicken and asparagus before serving. Enjoy your delicious, protein-packed meal!
