What ingredients do you need to make sheet pan balsamic chicken?
- boneless skinless chicken breasts filet and pounded to even thickness
- carrots, peeled and chopped
- baby gold potatoes (I like to use fingerling potatoes sliced in half)
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- garlic powder
- dried basil
- dried thyme
- balsamic vinegar
- brown sugar
- Parmesan cheese
How to make balsamic chicken and vegetables:
First, 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.
Next, drizzle the oil over the potatoes, chicken, and carrots. Rub the oil over the chicken with your fingertips making sure everything is well coated.
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. You don’t want to over cook your asparagus so make sure to not add them until the last few minutes.
Adding them too soon will make your asparagus soggy which you definitely do not want.
Drizzle remaining balsamic sauce (it should be slightly thickened now after cooling) over the chicken and vegetables.
Cook until asparagus is tender.
Remove from oven and serve. Feel to top with more Parmesans cheese before serving. Yum!
