For the Sides:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
   • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Set aside and cover with foil to keep warm.
2. Roast the Vegetables:
   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Toss the asparagus and halved tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
   • Roast the vegetables on a baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the tomatoes are slightly charred.
3. Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
   • Stir in the parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard (if using) until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley.
4. Serve:
   • Slice the grilled chicken breasts and drizzle generously with the creamy garlic parmesan sauce.
   • Plate with the roasted asparagus and tomatoes on the side.
