Tender chicken, roasted veggies, and a tangy-sweet balsamic glaze — all cooked on one sheet pan for a simple, healthy dinner with zero fuss.

If you’ve ever opened the fridge at 5:30pm and just stood there, hoping dinner would make itself… this One-Pan Balsamic Chicken and Veggies is for you.

It’s one of those throw-it-all-on-the-pan kind of recipes that somehow turns into something special. The balsamic glaze gives the chicken a rich, tangy flavor that caramelizes as it roasts, and the veggies soak up all the delicious juices. It’s healthy, colorful, and totally satisfying — and cleanup is basically nothing.

Perfect for nights when you want to eat well but don’t want to overthink it.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 cup baby carrots, halved

• 1 cup broccoli florets

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven:
   Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Make the glaze:
   In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. Toss everything:
   Place chicken and veggies on the sheet pan. Drizzle with the glaze and toss everything to coat evenly.

4. Roast:
   Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping veggies halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.

5. Serve:
   Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm — perfect over rice, quinoa, or as-is!

Sarah’s Tips:

• Veggie swap: Use what you have! Zucchini, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus all work great.

• Want extra sauce? Double the glaze recipe and set some aside to drizzle at the end.

• Make it a meal prep hero: Divide into containers with grains for an easy grab-and-go lunch.
