7. Continue roasting for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
8. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with feta cheese and chopped parsley.

Delightfully juicy chicken paired with perfectly roasted vegetables makes this dish a vibrant, flavorful feast. Serve it straight from the pan for a rustic presentation, or plate it over a bed of quinoa for an extra protein boost.

Perfect for those evenings when you’re craving something hearty yet healthy, this One Pan Balsamic Chicken and Veggies has become my go-to. It’s a dish that reminds me of cozy family dinners, where the aroma fills the kitchen and everyone gathers around the table, eager to dig in.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, patted dry
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided

2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl, pour the marinade over them, and toss to coat evenly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature for deeper flavor penetration.
4. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
