Ingredients

For the chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lb / 680 g)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the balsamic glaze

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

For the vegetables

1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Prepare the chicken and vegetables

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
On a large baking sheet or oven-safe skillet, spread the sliced bell peppers, onion wedges, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Cook the chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Pour the glaze over the chicken in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet (or baking sheet) to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Serve

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top for extra flavor.

Notes

Vegetable swaps: You can substitute the broccoli, peppers, or onions with zucchini, asparagus, or green beans depending on what you have on hand.
Meal prep: This dish stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to avoid drying out the chicken.
Gluten-free option: Ensure the Dijon mustard you’re using is gluten-free for a fully gluten-free meal.
