For the Chicken & Veggies:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 2 cups assorted vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onion)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Balsamic Glaze:
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat & Prep – Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: Prepare the Glaze – In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- Step 3: Season the Chicken & Veggies – Place the chicken breasts on one side of the baking sheet. Arrange the chopped vegetables around the chicken. Drizzle olive oil over everything and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the veggies to coat them evenly.
- Step 4: Add the Balsamic Glaze – Brush half of the balsamic glaze over the chicken and drizzle a little over the vegetables. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
- Step 5: Roast the Chicken & Veggies – Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- Step 6: Broil for a Finishing Touch – Remove the sheet pan from the oven and brush the remaining balsamic glaze over the chicken. Switch the oven to broil and cook for 2-3 more minutes to caramelize the glaze.
- Step 7: Serve & Enjoy – Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and serve warm.
