Balsamic Chicken
Description
This recipe Roasts chicken thighs seasoned with salt and pepper alongside halved red potatoes and trimmed asparagus on a foil-lined sheet pan. A glaze made from honey, balsamic vinegar, and dried Italian seasoning is brushed over the chicken before and during roasting to infuse the meat with sweet and tangy flavors. Potatoes are tossed simply with olive oil and seasoning to roast tender.
The high-temperature roasting results in crispy skin and juicy meat on the chicken thighs, tender potatoes with a slight caramelization, and perfectly cooked asparagus just added midway to avoid overcooking. Finishing with chopped fresh parsley provides a touch of color and freshness to the dish.
Serve this all-in-one sheet pan meal directly from the oven for a balanced plate combining protein, starch, and vegetable with complementary flavors and textures.
