Prepare the marinade: in a small bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients and set aside.

In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken, season with salt & pepper. Cook until white on bottom. Flip, season other side with salt & pepper, and cook until white on other side. Remove from pan.

Add asparagus & tomatoes, season with salt & pepper, and saute until the asparagus is bright green and the tomatoes are starting to wilt, about 5 minutes.

Return chicken to pan on top of veggies, drizzle with marinade, and stir until all pieces are coated. Cook 5-10 more minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Enjoy!!!
