Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup baby carrots
1 cup cherry tomatoes

Marinade

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly.
On a large baking sheet, arrange the chicken, broccoli, carrots, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the vegetables.

Cooking

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight) before cooking. Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking to achieve the best texture. Feel free to substitute seasonal vegetables based on what’s available.
