Ingredients

Instructions
Creating One Pan Balsamic Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. If time allows, marinating longer enhances the flavor.
4. Arrange in Pan: In a large baking dish or oven-safe skillet, arrange the marinated chicken breast in the center.
5. Add Vegetables: Surround the chicken with broccoli, red bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the vegetables.
6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. You may check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Broil: For extra flavor, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze lightly.
8. Garnish: Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves before serving.
Each of these steps ensures that the chicken remains juicy while the vegetables become perfectly roasted, infusing the meal with irresistible flavors.
