Description
Juicy baked balsamic chicken with roasted tomatoes, garlic, and melted mozzarella. A simple one-pan dinner packed with sweet and savory flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Place chicken fillets in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of garlic. Rub seasoning evenly over each piece.
- Arrange tomatoes and sliced red onion around the chicken.
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of garlic until combined.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and turn each piece to coat well. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is no longer pink inside.
- Sprinkle mozzarella over the chicken and return the dish to the oven for 4 to 5 minutes until melted and lightly golden.
- Top with fresh parsley and spoon the pan sauce over the chicken before serving.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, remove the chicken after baking and return the dish to the oven for a few extra minutes to reduce the sauce before serving.
