Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can swap the cherry tomatoes with sun-dried tomatoes for a more intense flavor or add in some zucchini for extra veggies.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Arrange the cherry tomatoes, red onion, and bell pepper slices around the chicken on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the top before serving.
Remember, the key here is to let the balsamic glaze work its magic—don’t rush it. Trust me, your patience will be rewarded with every flavorful bite.
