Prep Time: 10 min // Cook Time: 25 min // Total Time: 35 min

Ingredients:

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 zucchini, chopped
• 1 red onion, cut into chunks
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Balsamic Glaze:

• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt + pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Make the balsamic glaze : In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Prep the veggies: Add the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
4. Add the chicken: Nestle the chicken thighs among the veggies. Brush each thigh generously with the balsamic glaze.
5. Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp) and veggies are tender and slightly caramelized. Flip the veggies halfway through for even roasting.
6. Optional broil : For extra char and color, broil on high for 2–3 minutes at the end.
7. Serve & enjoy! Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot. This also stores great for meal prep!

Pro Tips:

• Swap chicken thighs for breasts if preferred — just adjust cooking time.
• Add broccoli, mushrooms, or carrots for more veggie variety.
• Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days — perfect for grab-and-go lunches!
