Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups assorted mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and asparagus)

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

    Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken marinates, wash and chop the assorted vegetables into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

      Preheat the Grill/Pan: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. You can also use an oven by preheating it to 400°F (200°C).

        Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

          Cook the Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, add the mixed vegetables. Sauté for about 5-8 minutes or until they are tender and slightly charred, stirring occasionally.

            Create the Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes to thicken, and make sure it's cooked through since it was in contact with raw chicken.

              Combine and Serve: On a large serving platter, arrange the grilled chicken on one side and the sautéed veggies on the other. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken and vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

                Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Balsamic Bliss Chicken & Veggie Medley!
