Balsamic Glazed Chicken and Veggies is a flavorful and healthy dinner option. Tender chicken breasts glazed in a sweet and tangy balsamic vinegar sauce, paired with roasted veggies. This dish is simple to prepare, full of flavor, and perfect for a balanced meal.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup bell peppers, sliced
1 cup zucchini, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Drizzle half of the balsamic glaze over the chicken.
In the same skillet, add the bell peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until slightly tender.
Place the veggies around the chicken in the baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining balsamic glaze.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Feel free to swap out the veggies for your favorites, such as broccoli or asparagus.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the balsamic mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
