Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts
Balsamic Glaze
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Make the balsamic glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
- Prepare chicken and vegetables: Arrange the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a portion of the balsamic glaze over the chicken. In a separate bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes and baby potatoes with the remaining balsamic mixture until evenly coated. Spread the vegetables around the chicken on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the balsamic chicken hot, accompanied by the roasted cherry tomatoes and baby potatoes. Enjoy this simple, hearty meal!
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, try to cut the baby potatoes into uniform sizes.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if preferred; adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added flavor, garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme before baking.
- If you don’t have parchment paper, lightly grease the baking sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking.
