Roasted Balsamic Chicken and Veggies

I love this sheetpan balsamic chicken and veggies dish for a quick healthy dinner. You can make it with practically any veggies you have on hand so this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. I like to serve it over buttered noodles with a generous handful of shaved Parmesan cheese and a delicious slice of fresh ciabatta but you could certainly eat it as is for the healthiest option.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the chopped veggies evenly on a large sheet pan and lay the chicken strips on top of the vegetables.
• In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, oil, honey, garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the chicken and veggies.
• Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are coated with the sauce. Arrange the ingredients in an even layer again making sure the chicken pieces aren’t overlapping each other. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
