Description

A flavorful one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken breasts, baby potatoes, and cherry tomatoes coated in a tangy-sweet balsamic glaze. Perfect for weeknights or entertaining, with minimal cleanup.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh basil or arugula for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a large oven-safe skillet. Arrange baby potatoes and cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
  4. Pour the balsamic glaze evenly over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring chicken is well coated.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  6. Spoon sauce over the chicken before serving and garnish with fresh basil or arugula if desired.

Notes

  • Swap chicken breasts for boneless thighs for a juicier option.
  • Add vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for variation.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes or use microwave.
