Print Recipe

Balsamic Baked Chicken Breast is a delightful and versatile dish that combines the tangy richness of balsamic vinegar with the tender, juicy goodness of chicken. This recipe is a must-try for anyone who loves bold, flavorful meals that are easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. This is an important first step to ensure even and thorough cooking of the chicken.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. This marinade will infuse the chicken with a delightful blend of flavors.

3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, turning the chicken to coat it evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for even more flavor.

4. Once the chicken is marinated, place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. This ensures the chicken is cooked through and juicy.

5. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a beautiful presentation (optional).

Notes

The Balsamic Baked Chicken Breast pairs beautifully with a variety of side dishes. Consider serving it with roasted vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, carrots, or asparagus, for a healthy and well-balanced meal.
