Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Balsamic Glaze

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces, chopped bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  5. Step 5

    While the chicken and veggies roast, whisk together balsamic vinegar and honey (or maple syrup) in a small bowl to make the glaze.

  6. Step 6

    Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken and vegetables. Toss gently to coat.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately. Great on its own or with a side of quinoa or couscous.

Tips

  • Feel free to customize the vegetables! Broccoli, asparagus, or mushrooms would also be delicious.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; if necessary, use two sheets to ensure everything roasts evenly and gets nice char.
  • A thicker balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade by simmering regular balsamic vinegar) can be used for an even richer finish.
