Description
A tangy and sweet one pan dish featuring chicken breasts roasted with cherry tomatoes and broccoli, all soaking in a delicious balsamic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (or chopped tomatoes)
- 2 to 3 cups broccoli florets (or green beans)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Optional: handful of fresh basil, grated parmesan for serving
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425°F. Grab a big sheet pan and optionally line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and remaining olive oil in a small bowl. Adjust sweetness or sharpness to taste.
- Place the chicken in the middle of the pan. Toss tomatoes and broccoli with salt and pepper, and spread around the chicken.
- Pour most of the sauce over the chicken, drizzling the rest over the veggies, and scoop any garlic bits on top.
- Bake for 18 to 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, aiming for 165°F internal temperature.
- Switch oven to broil for 1 to 2 minutes for caramelization, watching closely.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes and spoon pan juices over everything before serving.
Notes
Do not skip drying the chicken for better browning. Ensure the veggies are not crowded on the pan for optimal roasting.
