Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
- Place chicken on the baking sheet and brush generously with the balsamic mixture.
- Arrange cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion around the chicken. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Let rest a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Swap in seasonal vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or asparagus.
- For deeper flavor, reduce the glaze in a saucepan before applying.
- Use bone-in chicken thighs for extra juiciness, adjusting bake time as needed.
- White balsamic vinegar offers a milder taste and lighter color.
