– **For the Cheese:**

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the honey mustard sauce.
3. Place chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of the chicken with the honey mustard sauce.
4. Arrange the asparagus around the chicken on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the asparagus is tender.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken and asparagus. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is golden.
7. Serve the chicken with roasted asparagus and enjoy!
