Steps:
- Whisk the vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Combine the vinaigrette and chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from the bag and arrange the chicken pieces on a large greased baking dish. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 1 hour. If your chicken browns too quickly, cover it with foil for the remaining cooking time. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Place the baking dish on a burner over medium-low heat. Whisk the chicken broth into the pan drippings, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the baking sheet with a wooden spoon and mixing them into the broth and pan drippings. Drizzle the pan drippings over the chicken. Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the chicken, and serve.

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEACHES, BASIL AND GINGER
A ripe, succulent peach is one of nature's greatest gifts. But a hard peach? It, too, is a gift, especially in this simple recipe from Melissa Clark. A roast in a 400-degree oven cooks the peaches alongside boneless, skinless chicken thighs, drawing out their flavor and softening them as they meld with those flavorful drippings. Speaking of those pan juices, don't cast them aside: Sop them up instead with crusty bread. You won't regret it.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Halve peaches, remove pits and slice fruit 1/2 inch thick.
- In a 9-by-13-inch pan, toss all ingredients except 1 tablespoon basil. Roast until meat is cooked through and peaches are softened, about 20 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil. Sauce will be thin, so serve with crusty bread for sopping or over rice.

ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BALSAMIC PEACHES
Steps:
- 1) Heat oven to 400 farenheit. 2) Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub with 1 Tbs olive oil and season with salt & pepper.

Tips:
- To achieve crispy skin and juicy chicken, pat the chicken breasts dry before seasoning and roasting.

- If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- For a sweeter dish, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the balsamic glaze.
- Serve the roasted chicken breasts with a side of roasted potatoes or rice.
