Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup of this mixture for later use.

    Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it's well covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Prepare the Veggies: In a mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables.

          Bake Chicken and Veggies: Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the chicken. Drizzle the reserved balsamic mixture over the chicken and vegetables for extra flavor.

            Cook: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the veggies are tender.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for a pop of color and flavor.

                Enjoy! Serve the balsamic glazed chicken alongside the roasted veggies for a balanced and delicious meal.
