Balsamic Chicken Bake is a delicious and hearty dish combining the rich flavors of balsamic vinegar with tender chicken thighs, roasted vegetables, and fragrant herbs. Perfect for a family dinner, this recipe is not only simple to prepare but also packed with nutrients and flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the potatoes into chunks and slice the red onions.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Stir well until the brown sugar dissolves.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a zip-lock bag. Pour half of the balsamic mixture over the chicken, making sure they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a large baking dish, spread the potato chunks, sliced red onions, and fresh thyme evenly.
- Remove chicken from marinade and place the thighs on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
- Drizzle the remaining balsamic mixture over the entire dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes.
- After 35 minutes, remove the baking dish and add the halved cherry tomatoes.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve hot, ensuring each plate gets a good mix of chicken, potatoes, onions, and tomatoes.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken thighs in the balsamic mixture for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Make sure to cut the potatoes into even pieces for uniform cooking.
- Add the cherry tomatoes towards the end of baking to keep them juicy and flavorful.
- For extra crispiness, broil the dish for the last few minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs and spices such as rosemary or oregano for a different flavor profile.
Enjoy your flavorful Balsamic Chicken Bake, a delightful one-pan meal sure to satisfy everyone at the table. This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or a side of steamed vegetables. Bon appétit!
