One-pan balsamic chicken is a flavorful weeknight dinner made with simple ingredients and easy steps. Tender chicken breasts are coated in a tangy balsamic glaze, topped with a fresh tomato mozzarella salad, and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. oil, such as avocado or olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

Tomato Mozzarella

  • 8 oz. grape tomatoes, halved
  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine or pearls)
  • 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil

Chicken

  • 2 lb. boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • 2 Tbsp. avocado oil or other high-heat oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  2. Tomato Mozzarella: Toss together tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  3. Preheat oven: to 400°F.
  4. Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet, brown chicken on both sides. Add balsamic sauce, then top with tomato mozzarella mixture.
  5. Bake: Uncovered for 18-23 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Rest: Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Mozzarella: If using ciliegine mozzarella, cut in half; if using pearls, no need to cut.
  • Chicken: Pound chicken for even cooking and tenderness.
