Honey Balsamic Chicken Breasts and Veggies
Description
The chicken is marinated in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, and basil, seasoned with salt and pepper. After marinating for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to overnight, the chicken is arranged on a baking sheet with quartered baby red potatoes and cherry tomatoes tossed in olive oil and seasoning.
This mixture is roasted at 400°F until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are tender, about 25-30 minutes. Asparagus is added to the baking sheet for the last 10 minutes of roasting to maintain its texture and flavor. The dish is finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for brightness.
This one-pan recipe provides a harmonious combination of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors with tender chicken and roasted vegetables. Cooking times may vary depending on potato size, so checking doneness is important.

- Add asparagus in the last 10 minutes of roasting to prevent overcooking.
- Check chicken internal temperature reaches 165°F before serving.
