Balsamic Sheet Pan Chicken
This Balsamic Sheet Pan Chicken features boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked alongside carrots and gold potatoes on a single sheet pan. A homemade balsamic reduction sweetened with brown sugar adds a tangy glaze, balanced by a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Roasting everything together allows the chicken to absorb the rich flavors while the vegetables become tender and caramelized. Adding asparagus near the end gives a fresh, crisp contrast. This recipe suits a practical, all-in-one dinner that minimizes cleanup without sacrificing taste or texture.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breast boneless, skinless, filet, pounded to even thickness
- 1 pound carrot peeled and chopped into 2-inch pieces
- 2 pounds gold potato I like to use fingerling potatoes sliced in half chopped into 1-inch pieces, baby size
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon basil dried
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
- 2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on one third of a greased sheet pan. Place chicken on one third of the pan, and then the carrots on the remaining third.
- Drizzle the oil over the potatoes, chicken, and carrots. Rub the oil over the chicken with your fingertips. Season with all the seasonings.
- In a sauce pan bring balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes until reduced by half.
- Spoon half of the balsamic sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and carrots and potatoes are tender. 5 minutes before the chicken is done - add the asparagus with the carrots.
- Drizzle remaining balsamic sauce (it should be slightly thickened now after cooling) over the chicken and carrots/aspragus. Cook until asparagus is tender.
- Remove from oven and serve - I like to serve with more parmesans cheese and rolls.
