Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours for more flavor.

    Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

      Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade) and grill or cook in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is ideal.

        Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet (or a separate pan), add the seasoned vegetables. Sauté on medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender yet crisp.

          Glaze: For an extra touch, in a small saucepan, heat the remaining balsamic vinegar over medium heat. Allow it to reduce until thickened slightly, about 5-6 minutes.

            Serve: On a plate, place the grilled chicken and top with the sautéed veggies. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
