Instructions

- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken in a large bowl or bag, pour in half the marinade, and toss to coat. Marinate for 15–30 minutes if possible.
- Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces and spread on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining marinade and toss.
- Add marinated chicken to the sheet pan, arranging everything in a single layer.

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.
