Instructions
Creating Balsamic Glazed Chicken and Veggies is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
2. Cook the Chicken: While the glaze simmers, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
3. Add the Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
4. Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet with the veggies. Drizzle the thickened balsamic glaze over the entire mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
5. Serve: Plate the chicken and veggies, garnishing with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and presentation.
With these clear steps, you can effortlessly create a culinary masterpiece that’s bursting with flavor!
