Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 3 chicken breasts, diced into small pieces
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Brussels sprouts, sliced in half
  • 1 red pepper, chopped

Marinade and Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C) to get it hot and ready for roasting the chicken and vegetables evenly.
  2. Prepare the ingredients: Dice the chicken breasts into small, bite-size pieces. Chop the carrot, zucchini, and red pepper into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Halve the Brussels sprouts.
  3. Mix marinade and seasonings: In a large bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to blend all flavors.
  4. Toss everything together: Add the diced chicken and chopped vegetables to the marinade. Toss thoroughly so every piece is coated evenly. You can also arrange all ingredients on a parchment-lined sheet pan and toss directly there if preferred.
  5. Bake: Spread the mixture in an even layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking of both chicken and veggies.
  6. Finish and serve: Once the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and caramelized, remove from oven. Divide into meal prep bowls or serve directly onto plates. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts if you prefer darker meat; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Feel free to swap in other veggies like broccoli, mushrooms, or sweet potatoes.
  • Make sure to cut vegetables uniformly for even roasting.
  • Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For added flavor, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil just before serving.
