Description

Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken and Veggies is a healthy, one-pan dinner featuring juicy balsamic-marinated chicken roasted with colorful, tender vegetables. It’s quick, flavorful, and perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place chicken in a large bowl or bag, pour in half the marinade, and toss to coat. Marinate for 15–30 minutes if possible.
  4. Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces and spread on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining marinade and toss.
  5. Add marinated chicken to the sheet pan, arranging everything in a single layer.
  6. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender.
  7. Remove from oven, rest chicken for a few minutes, then slice if using breasts.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

Use thighs for juicier meat or breasts for a leaner option.Add carrots, Brussels sprouts, or mushrooms for variety.Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor.For a spicy version, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the marinade.Serve over grains like rice, couscous, or quinoa for a heartier meal.
