Ingredients

20 mins
6 servings
  1. Maple syrup
  2. Dijon mustard
  3. 2-3 garlic clovesGarlic
  4. Rice wine vinegar
  5. Boneless skinless chicken thighs
  6. Fresh rosemary

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Mix equal parts maple syrup and Dijon mustard, then add just enough vinegar to loosen the sauce and to get enough tang to your liking. Add in 2-3 minced garlic cloves

  2. 2

    Season the chicken thighs and place on a large jelly roll pan on a parchment sheet or foil and crumple up the edges around so the juices won't run into the asparagus. Pour over the sauce and place fresh rosemary over the top. Drizzle the other side with olive oil, add your asparagus, and roll around to coat. Season with good salt and freshly cracked pepper. Roast in a hot oven 400 or so until done...20 minutes worked for me...

  3. 3

    Meanwhile cook some orzo. When Al dente; drain and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter and at least a half a cup of freshly grated Romano or Parmesian. Squeeze half a lemon over the top to brighten it up and season well.

  4. 4

    To serve place the orzo down and add the chicken and asparagus on top and drizzle any juices that accumulated during the cooking.

I am from a large Italian family where food and wine are at the center of everything we do. I love baking Traditional Italian cookies and I am also quite adventurous in my cooking, (and everywhere else in my life too)! Because of my husband's military career, we have lived all over and are currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan! Those adventures over the years have influence my cooking and made me the unique at-home chef that I am.
