One of my favorite ways to prepare chicken has always been by smothering it in a balsamic vinegar mixture. I’ve loved it ever since I was little and I still even tend to make it a few times per month at the very least.
Like the balsamic chicken, it’s great to mix it up from week to week. Some of my other favorites are honey balsamic chicken and lemon chicken.

You’ll first need to sprinkle a savory mix of Italian seasoning and minced garlic over top of your chicken before drizzling it with olive oil. Next, spoon your prepared mix of balsamic vinegar and honey over top of the chicken before baking it in the oven along with six cups of chopped veggies.
I like to use baby potatoes, green beans, and bell peppers, but you can of course feel free to use your favorite veggies as well!
