Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well-blended.
  • Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the marinade. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes.
  • Chop the bell peppers and halve the cherry tomatoes. Spread these veggies around the marinated chicken in a baking pan.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Toss to make sure each piece is coated.
  • Transfer your pan to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but longer is better. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
