Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 medium zucchini, sliced

Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

    Prep the Veggies: While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop the broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini. Keep the pieces relatively uniform for even cooking.

      Cook the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

        Add the Veggies: Once the chicken is seared, add the broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini to the skillet. Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken and vegetables.

          Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the veggies are tender.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil before serving. Plate the chicken with colorful veggies on the side and drizzle with additional balsamic glaze if desired.
