Description
Tender balsamic-glazed chicken roasted on one pan with colorful veggies, sweet tang, garlicky aroma, and crisp caramelized edges for a cozy, weeknight-friendly dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large carrots, cut into sticks
- 2 medium bell peppers, red and yellow, sliced
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl until glossy.
- Toss carrots, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes with half of the balsamic mixture until evenly coated.
- Spread vegetables on the prepared sheet pan. Place chicken breasts on top and brush with the remaining balsamic mixture.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the chicken once, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
- Rest chicken for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley and add an optional light drizzle of balsamic.
- Slice chicken and serve with the roasted vegetables while hot.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the balsamic mixture for up to 12 hours.
- Do not overcrowd the pan, use two pans if doubling to promote roasting instead of steaming.
- Room-temperature chicken cooks more evenly and stays juicy.
- Use a thermometer to avoid overcooking for the best texture.
