SHEET-PAN BALSAMIC-PARMESAN CHICKEN & VEGETABLES



Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Chicken & Vegetables image

This flavorful dish--with the combination of balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese--makes a great weeknight meal since it requires little legwork (and only one pan!). The marjoram adds a distinct earthy aroma. If you don't have marjoram in your spice arsenal, you can use dried oregano instead. Both have a woodsy flavor that complements the dish beautifully.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (4-pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces (giblets, neck and backbone reserved for another use)
1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Combine the vinaigrette and chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality balsamic vinegar: The quality of the balsamic vinegar you use will greatly impact the flavor of the dish. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the chicken and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and the chicken from browning properly.
  • Roast the chicken and vegetables at a high temperature: Roasting the chicken and vegetables at a high temperature will help to caramelize the vegetables and give the chicken a crispy skin.
  • Baste the chicken and vegetables with the balsamic vinegar mixture: Basting the chicken and vegetables with the balsamic vinegar mixture will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken and vegetables rest before serving: Letting the chicken and vegetables rest before serving will help the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Balsamic roast chicken and vegetables is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The balsamic vinegar adds a rich, tangy flavor to the chicken and vegetables, and the roasting process creates a crispy skin on the chicken and caramelized vegetables. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
