Oven Baked Balsamic Chicken

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

4 6 ounce skinless chicken breasts

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

4 garlic cloves minced

2 pints cherry tomatoes halved

Chopped parsley for serving

 

Directions:

1.   Preheat oven to 425°F.

2.   Pat the chicken breasts with a paper towel. Cover the chicken breasts with plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound and flatten them to equal thickness. Place in a 9×13 oven-safe baking dish.

3.   In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, basil, salt, pepper and garlic until well combined. Pour the marinade over the chicken in the baking dish and flip each chicken breast in the marinade to evenly coat. Let marinate for a few minutes or hours.

4.   Add the tomatoes around the chicken in the baking dish.

5.   Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of the chicken breast reads 165°F.

6.   Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with your favorite sides.
