• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add carrots, cover, and steam until carrots start to soften, 5 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to transfer carrots to a bowl and set aside. Add asparagus to steamer basket plus more boiling water if necessary. Steam asparagus until almost tender, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Add to the bowl with the carrots.
• Meanwhile, heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter and let butter melt. Add marinated chicken and cook until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Add steamed carrots and asparagus to chicken in the skillet.

• Using a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil until hot. Add the chicken pieces and cook about 2 minutes per side until the chicken has a nice golden exterior. Transfer chicken to plate.
• Using the same skillet, add the red onions, green peppers, lemon zest, sage, garlic and remaining salt and pepper to the pan. Give a quick stir to scrape some of the bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the chicken broth, mustard and honey and bring the liquid to a low boil. Add the reserved chicken to the pan and cover. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have softened.
