Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your dish taste its best. Look for ripe vegetables, tender chicken, and a good-quality balsamic vinegar.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece plenty of space so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- Let the chicken rest before slicing: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Balsamic chicken and garden medley can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted potatoes, rice, or pasta. You can also add a salad or some crusty bread to complete the meal.

Balsamic chicken and garden medley is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. With its flavorful balsamic glaze and tender chicken, this dish is sure to become a favorite. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious dinner option, give this recipe a try!
