Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large oven-safe skillet.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Once the chicken is seared, pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
  • Add the halved cherry tomatoes and red onion slices to the pan.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the baby spinach until wilted.
  • Remove from the oven and serve the chicken with the vegetables and balsamic glaze.

Notes

  • You can substitute the chicken breasts with thighs for extra juiciness.
  • To make this dish low-carb, serve it with a side of roasted cauliflower or zucchini.
  • If you prefer a stronger balsamic flavor, let the sauce simmer for a few more minutes before pouring it over the chicken.
