Easy Balsamic Chicken and Veggies made on 1 pan!
Course: Dinner
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4
Calories: 591 kcal
Author: Chelsea
Ingredients
2/3 cup basalmic vinegar
2/3 cup zesty Italian dressing fat free is great
1.25 pounds chicken tenders or breasts
2 heads broccoli
1 cup baby carrots
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional: fresh parsley, salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a large tray with nonstick spray (line with parchment paper if you tray isn't already nonstick or the balsamic + Italian mixture will stick to it) and set aside.
Whisk together the balsamic vinegar and zesty Italian dressing.
Trim the tenderloins of fat and undesired parts. Alternatively cut the breasts into small 1/4th-1/2th inch thick pieces (resemble the size of the tenders in the picture/video)
Place 1/3 cup of the balsamic + Italian mixture in a large bag and add the chicken tenders. Coat and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
Chop the broccoli into small pieces. Slice the baby carrots in half.
Place broccoli + carrots on the prepared tray with the cherry tomatoes (like your tomatoes LESS roasted? Toss in after 5-10 minutes of the broccoli and carrots being cooked. Otherwise they are ultra tender!), Italian seasoning, olive oil, garlic powder, and add some seasoned salt and pepper to taste.
Roast the veggies for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and flip around. Section the veggies to each side of the tray (see video) and place the chicken tenders (discard marinade) in the center. Brush 1/3 cup of the balsamic + Italian mixture over the chicken.
Return to the oven and cook for another 7-15 minutes depending on the size of your chicken. Be careful to monitor the chicken so you don't overcook it.**The cooking time will largely vary based on the size of your chicken. See the last paragraph of text for more direction on how to cook this meal so everything is done at the same time.**
Serve the chicken and veggies with the remaining Balsamic + Italian mixture. Top with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Great served over rice or quinoa!

Balsamic Blueberry Crisp
serves 2-4
ingredients
2 cups blueberries
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoons salt
2/3 cups oats
2/3 cups brown sugar (loosely packed)
1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 sticks softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cups Lowcountry Gourmet Aged Balsamic Vinegar
2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for crunch)
vanilla ice cream
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl, mix blueberries with sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of flour and salt. Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray and add blueberries. I used a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 baking dish because I wanted a thick blueberry layer, but an 8 x would work fine too. Once the blueberries are added, toss them with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. The blueberry flavor works the best but original should be fine too.
In a bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Add softened butter and vanilla, and mix thoroughly with a fork and your hands until it becomes clumped together. Layer crumble mixture on top of blueberries and sprinkle coarse sugar on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
While crisp is baking, add vinegar to a small saucepan and heat over lo heat until it reduces by half – about 5-6 minutes. Set aside to cool, the mixture should thicken at this time. When blueberry crisp is finished, serve with vanilla ice cream and drizzle balsamic reduction on top.
I also suggest you use a larger plate, or even perhaps a bowl – for your crisp. Blueberry stains, what?! http://www.shop.lowcountrygourmetfoods.com/
