Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into 1-inch strips
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, roughly chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (preferably aged for richer flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced finely
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is key to roasting vegetables to crisp perfection and locking in juices on the chicken.
  • Mix balsamic glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful glaze to coat the chicken and veggies.
  • Prepare the chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour half the balsamic mixture over the chicken and toss or rub it evenly over all pieces, ensuring they’re well-coated.
  • Prepare the veggies: On a large rimmed baking sheet (lined with parchment or sprayed lightly with oil for easy cleanup), arrange the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper strips, onion wedges, and broccoli florets. Drizzle the remaining balsamic glaze over the veggies and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  • Spacing matters: Spread the veggies out so they aren’t crowded—this helps them roast instead of steam.
  • Position the chicken: Nestle the chicken breasts among the vegetables on the sheet pan, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes. Check at 20 minutes by piercing the thickest part of the chicken with a fork or knife—the juices should run clear. The veggies should be tender and slightly charred at the edges.
  • Rest the chicken: Once out of the oven, let the chicken rest on the pan for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, making every bite juicy.
  • Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the dish for a burst of fresh color and flavor.
