Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 lb broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the balsamic marinade.
- Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Pour half of the balsamic marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, place the broccoli florets, chopped red bell pepper, and red onion wedges on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining balsamic marinade and toss to coat the vegetables.
- Arrange the marinated chicken pieces among the vegetables on the baking sheet. Ensure everything is in a single layer for even cooking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- For an extra glaze, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve your delicious sheet pan balsamic chicken and vegetables immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus to your sheet pan balsamic chicken.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Ensure your sheet pan is large enough to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
