One-Pan Balsamic Chicken is a delightful dish that combines tender chicken breasts with vibrant vegetables, all infused with a tangy balsamic glaze. This easy-to-make recipe is not only flavorful but also simplifies clean-up, making it perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for cooking the chicken evenly.

Step 2: Prepare the Balsamic Glaze

In a small bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful glaze.

Step 3: Season the Chicken

Take the chicken breasts and season them with salt and pepper on both sides. This enhances the flavor of the chicken.

Step 4: Sear the Chicken

In an oven-safe skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 5: Add the Veggies

Once the chicken is nicely browned, add halved cherry tomatoes and sliced bell peppers to the skillet around the chicken.

Step 6: Pour the Glaze

Pour the balsamic glaze over the chicken and veggies, ensuring everything is coated well.

Step 7: Bake in the Oven

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows juices to redistribute for a juicier bite.
