Step 1
To make the vinaigrette, mix together the balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons oil, honey, mustard, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until blended. Place aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sear until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside after removing from the pan.
Step 3
To the pan, add the asparagus and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the asparagus is brilliant green and the tomatoes are slightly wilted.
