Dijon Chicken or Pork Recipe & Roasted Asparagus

If you need a change from your regular chicken or pork routine- here is something easy for everyone!

Salt and pepper your pork or chicken generously- they both lack flavour- if you want to add garlic powder- or Italian seasoning- that would be great on here as well. In 1 tbsp of hot olive oil- pan fry your meat (on medium heat) until it is golden brown on both sides and you are confident that it is cooked inside. Add about 1/3 c of chicken stock and let this simmer until the stock reduces by half. When that is done add about one to two tablespoons of light cream cheese, and one tablespoon of whole grain Dijon mustard. If you don't have whole grain Dijon- you should get it cause its that good- and if I still haven't convinced you- add 1/2 tbsp of regular Dijon. When the cheese and Dijon melt into your mixture and become thick- you are done! Easy- tasty- and a nice change:)

I served the chicken with cauliflower rice and roasted asparagus. Cut the tough ends off of your asparagus- or if you want to do it one by one... why would you but who knows... hold both ends and bend- it will break naturally from the tough end. Spread the asparagus out on a cookie sheet and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast at 375 for 10 minutes- no longer- and you will have perfect asparagus every time! Why not real garlic? It will burn and turn bitter- resulting in bitter asparagus- which is never a good time!
