  • Pepper

Veggies:

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. If desired, brown the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes on each side to lock in juices and create a golden crust.

  3. Prepare the balsamic marinade by whisking together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Place an assortment of your preferred vegetables on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
  5. Arrange the vegetables around the edges of the pan, leaving the center open for the chicken.
  6. Add the browned chicken breasts or thighs to the center of the pan.
  7. Pour the balsamic marinade over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is coated evenly. Toss lightly if needed.
  8. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, tossing the vegetables halfway through.
  9. Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (75°C).
  10. Let the chicken rest before slicing, then garnish with parsley, Parmesan, or basil.
  11. Serve and enjoy your One Pan Balsamic Chicken and Veggies!
