Description

This Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken is a flavorful, fuss-free meal made all on one pan. Juicy chicken breasts are marinated in a tangy balsamic vinaigrette and roasted with colorful vegetables for a wholesome, comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Reserve 2 tablespoons marinade; marinate chicken in the rest for at least 15 minutes.
  3. On the sheet pan, toss bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Leave space in the center for chicken.
  4. Place marinated chicken in the center of the pan. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping chicken and stirring veggies halfway. Cook until chicken reaches 165°F.
  5. Brush reserved marinade over hot chicken and veggies. Optional: broil 2–3 minutes for caramelized edges.
  6. Let chicken rest a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan for best roasting results. Pound chicken to even thickness for even cooking. Let chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
