Place the chicken on ready baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper to style.

in a very little bowl, mix condiment, juice, butter and cilantro along. Drizzle 1/3 of the sauce over the chicken.

Bake for five minutes (20 for chicken thighs). Meanwhile, mix the seasonings in a very little bowl and put aside.

once five minutes, take away baking pan from the kitchen appliance, flip the chicken and place the asparagus and broccoli on the edges of the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with seasonings and drizzle sauce over the vegetables and a few a lot of on the chicken (reserve one teaspoon for the end).

come back the kitchen appliance back to the pan and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or once the chicken is poached through and has reached an enclosed temperature of 165ºF. (You might want to get rid of the vegetables initial (so they do not overcook) if the chicken isn't poached through however, counting on your level of preference.)

Drizzle the chicken with extra sauce and switch the kitchen appliance to broil for -2 minutes, till the chicken encompasses a nice brown color (watch closely therefore the chicken doesn't burn).
