Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup (60ml) balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil, extra virgin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 red onion, quartered
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 8 ounces (225g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil, extra virgin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
- While the chicken marinates, chop the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil (if using). Arrange the marinated chicken and chopped vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan. Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves (if using). Serve immediately.
