Ingredients:

Preparation mode:

👉 Honey balsamic chicken with crispy roasted broccoli and potato wedges is an easy, balanced dinner for two. Juicy pan-seared chicken breasts are finished in a sticky, glossy honey-balsamic glaze while the vegetables roast in the oven.

🍳 How to Make Honey Balsamic Chicken

1. Roast the potatoes. Heat the oven to 425°F. Cut the potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges, toss them on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper, and roast on the top rack for 5 minutes

2. Make garlic oil. Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets. Finely chop the garlic. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil with half the garlic and microwave for about 30 seconds until it sizzles

3. Add the broccoli. Take out the sheet, add the broccoli to the empty side and toss it with the garlic oil, salt and pepper. Roast for another 15–20 minutes until the potatoes and broccoli are browned and crispy

4. Cook the chicken. Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (lower the heat if it browns too fast). Set aside to rest and wipe out the pan

5. Make the glaze. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and the remaining garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, honey, chicken stock and ¼ cup water and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thick and glossy. Take off the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon butter

6. Serve. Slice the chicken, spoon over the honey balsamic glaze and serve with the roasted potatoes and broccoli

💡 Tips for the Best Honey Balsamic Chicken

• Pat the chicken dry so it browns well.
• Don’t crowd the baking sheet – vegetables need space to crisp up.
• Watch the glaze closely; honey can burn quickly.
• To serve 4, double everything and use two baking sheets.

🍽️ Serving & Storage

Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the vegetables in the oven to keep them crispy.
