Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 0.33 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 cups Carrots (peeled and sliced)
• 1 cup Zucchini (sliced into rounds)
• 1 cup Red bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the balsamic vinegar, orange juice, and honey to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for 2 minutes to slightly thicken.

Step 6

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the top. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and fresh rosemary.

Step 8

Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Place the skillet with the chicken on one side of the oven and the baking sheet with the vegetables on the other side. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Remove the chicken and vegetables from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Orange Balsamic Chicken with Vegetables!
