How to Make Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken with Veggies
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Start by mixing together the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the chicken to the marinade, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (no more than 5 hours).
While the chicken is marinating, arrange the veggies on a large sheet pan. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, and season them with the seasonings.
Arrange the veggies evenly to each side of the pan to make room for the chicken in the middle. Once the chicken is done marinating, arrange each piece side by side in the middle of the pan. Spoon about a teaspoon of the marinade over each piece of chicken prior to cooking. Discard the remaining marinade.
Bake the chicken and veggies for 20 minutes, or the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Can you cook raw chicken and vegetables together?
Yes, as long as you utilize safe food handling practices. Make sure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Being that both the vegetables and chicken are being cooked at the same time, you will be fine.
How long can I marinate chicken?
Chicken can be marinated up to 2 days. However, it is recommended that you marinate it for no more than about 6 hours. Marinating chicken for too long can cause it to be tough. Typically, chicken will soak up the marinade flavor in about 2 hours. For this recipe, I only marinated the chicken for 30 minutes and still achieved a lot of flavor.
