Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 –3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1½ cups broccoli florets
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls optional
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil optional

Method
 

  1. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken to the mixture and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F or heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the chicken on both sides until lightly golden.
  5. Add broccoli florets and tomatoes around the chicken, tossing carefully in the glaze.
  6. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Top with mozzarella and fresh basil if desired, then serve.

Notes

  1. Use chicken thighs for a richer flavor if preferred.
  2. Add or swap vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini, or carrots.
  3. Store leftovers in airtight containers for 3–4 days.
  4. Reheat gently to keep chicken moist.
