One pan meals are the way to go, and this sweet and tangy Sheet Pan Balsamic & Honey Chicken hits all the right taste buds!
I know I've been missing lately, but my camera got a hair on the mirror inside, and I tried to clean it off, which didn't work, so I was forced to send it into Canon for a cleaning.
It should arrive today! Thankfully. Because I have a whole bunch of recipes that I made over the past week, that I have to remake so that I can share them with ya'll!
A big one, that really stressed me out....a cake! I had made that thing, frosted it to perfection, and my frosting skills sorta suck, so I was proud...and that's when I discovered the hair.
It belonged to our long hair doxie, Gracie. I have literally been lost without my camera. Reason number one that I need a new one, so that I can at least have a backup. Anyway.
Let's talk about this juicy chicken with the perfect sweet and tangy marinade!
A couple of years ago I made this recipe One Pan Balsamic Chicken and Asparagus, and it's been wildly popular. Don't mess with a good thing, right?
Well...if you know me, I like to change things up, and that's what I did. I made that one pan balsamic chicken and asparagus even better!
I made that recipe better by adding to the marinade, and tossing in potatoes. Who doesn't love potatoes? I was making the other recipe, and usually roasting or mashing potatoes, so this just cuts out that step, and makes dinner simpler. Simple recipes are my favorite.
With summer literally right around the corner, (we've been to the beach twice already) I want simple dishes, and this one is just that. My whole family loves it.
I like to take my asparagus a little bit further than the rest of the family, so I plate up everyone's except mine, and toss it under the broiler for a few extra minutes.
Sheet Pan Balsamic & Honey Roasted Chicken ingredients:
- asparagus
- red potatoes
- boneless skinless chicken breasts
- olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
- honey
- dijon mustard
- fresh chopped parsley
- Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
My short Cuts for sheet pan meals:
- marinate in a gallon zip top bag
- line the sheet pan with parchment paper.
These two short cuts save me time. No washing, or making room in the dishwasher for the bowl from the marinade, and no washing the sheet pan after roasting!
They not only save me time, but my family, because I don't always clean up after dinner. I like to delegate that task to either Zack or Kayla. They really like when I make meals like this.
More quick one pan favorites that our family loves:
- One Pan Crispy Flounder and Vegetables
- Sheet Pan Sausage, Asparagus and Sweet Potato
- One Pan Spicy Ranch Chicken and Veggies

You can never go wrong with asparagus! Looks really good (on a side note, a hair in the camera! How in the world!?

We have a long hair doxie, and I'm sure that it's floating around in 99% of our air. I was switching lenses out while she was near me (I was sitting on the floor), I just know that's when it happened. ::sigh::

I never thought to put it all together like that in one pan. So smart. I always cook it all separate. I am definitely going to make this as I just purchased asparagus and chicken yesterday!
