Time 4h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
1 clove garlic, or more to taste, minced

4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. The bones add flavor and the skin helps keep the chicken moist.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: A good balsamic vinegar will have a sweet and tangy flavor. Look for a vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Roast the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Balsamic roast Italian chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is roasted in a flavorful balsamic vinegar sauce and served with roasted vegetables. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
