Ingredients
  

  • 1 lemon (zest and 1 tablespoon juice)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 2 (8-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
  • 2 cups asparagus (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh cremini mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 cups halved grape tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Snipped fresh dill for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the lemon vinaigrette: Zest half a teaspoon of lemon peel and squeeze out one tablespoon of lemon juice. Whisk them together with olive oil, feta cheese, and honey in a small bowl, then set aside.
  • Preheat the oven: Place a 15x10-inch sheet pan inside your oven and preheat to 475°F. Preheating the pan helps achieve perfect caramelization.
  • Flatten the chicken: Use the flat side of a meat mallet to pound the chicken to ½ inch thickness between two pieces of plastic wrap. This ensures even cooking.
  • Coat the chicken: Toss the flattened chicken in a bowl with mayonnaise and two cloves of garlic, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  • Bread the chicken: Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Dip the chicken into the crumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Prepare the vegetables: Combine asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, the remaining garlic, olive oil, and the remaining salt and pepper in a large bowl. Toss until well coated.
  • Assemble and roast: Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Place the breaded chicken on one side and the vegetable mixture on the other. Roast everything for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
  • Garnish and serve: Drizzle the roasted chicken and vegetables with the lemon vinaigrette and sprinkle fresh dill on top. Serve immediately.
