Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for the veggies)

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the ingredients are well blended. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade for later.

    Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

      Preheat the Oven: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Prepare the Vegetables: In another mixing bowl, add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss the veggies thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasonings.

          Bake Chicken and Veggies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the baking sheet and arrange the seasoned vegetables around them. Drizzle the reserved balsamic glaze over both the chicken and vegetables to enhance the flavor.

            Cooking Time: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (reaching an internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Before serving, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a vibrant touch and added flavor.

                Enjoy the Meal: Serve the balsamic glazed chicken alongside the roasted vegetables for a nutrition-packed, delicious dinner that is sure to impress!
