Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Pick the thyme leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
- Remove the woody ends of the asparagus; cut crosswise into thirds on an angle. In a medium bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Roast the chicken & asparagus
- Pat the chicken dry. In a second medium bowl, toss with the mustard, paprika, ½ the garlic, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, 10 to 12 min., until partially cooked.
- Flip and add the asparagus. Roast, 10 to 12 min., until the chicken* is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.
Cook the cabbage
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the onion and remaining garlic. Sauté, 4 to 5 min., until lightly browned.
- Add the thyme and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage, vinegar, demi-glace, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 min., until the vegetables are crisp-tender. If it seems dry, add up to ½ cup water.
Plate your dish
- Divide the cabbage between your plates.
- Top with the asparagus and chicken (slice beforehand if desired). Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
