• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

For the Balsamic Glaze:

• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

How to Make Balsamic Glazed Chicken and Veggies

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to make cleanup easy.

Step 2: Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and set aside.

Step 3: Season the Chicken and Veggies

• Place the chicken breasts on one side of the baking sheet.
• Add the chopped vegetables around the chicken.
• Drizzle olive oil on top and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix the veggies so everything is coated evenly.

Step 4: Add the Balsamic Glaze

Brush half of the balsamic glaze over the chicken and pour a little over the veggies.
Keep the rest of the glaze for later.

Step 5: Bake Everything

Put the sheet in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the veggies are soft and cooked through.

Step 6: Broil for a Nice Finish

• Take the pan out and brush the rest of the glaze over the chicken.
• Turn the oven to broil and cook for 2–3 more minutes until the glaze looks shiny and caramelized.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

• Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting.
• Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil, and serve warm for a delicious meal!
