Description
This Balsamic Chicken and Roasted Zucchini recipe is a delightful symphony of flavors, perfectly blending the tangy balsamic glaze with the natural sweetness of roasted zucchini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, toss the sliced zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
- Spread the zucchini evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden.
- While the zucchini is roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- To serve, place the roasted zucchini on a plate and top with slices of balsamic chicken. Drizzle with any remaining balsamic glaze from the skillet.
Notes
- This dish is keto-friendly.
