Ingredients

For the chicken marinade:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the veggies:

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

2. Prep the Oven and Veggies
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Toss all the chopped vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them evenly on the baking sheet.

3. Roast Everything
Nestle the marinated chicken breasts among the vegetables. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the chicken. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C) and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

4. Serve
Plate the chicken with a generous portion of roasted veggies and drizzle with a little extra balsamic if desired.

Tips for Success

• Add Fresh Herbs – Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley before serving for extra flavor.
• Cut Veggies Evenly – Ensures everything roasts at the same rate.
• Broil at the End – For extra caramelization, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.

Why This Recipe Works

Marinating the chicken in balsamic not only infuses it with deep flavor but also keeps it tender. Roasting everything on one pan allows the juices and flavors to mingle, while the high heat caramelizes the veggies beautifully. Healthy, simple, and utterly satisfying.

Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Veggies is a weeknight hero — a flavorful, balanced meal that comes together with minimal effort and cleanup. With juicy chicken, colorful veggies, and a tangy balsamic glaze, it’s a dish you’ll turn to again and again.
