This One Pot Balsamic Chicken is one of the quickest and easiest weeknight dinner recipes around! Complete with tender meat, crisp veggies, and loads of flavor, this balsamic chicken recipe is a one pan wonder that's ready in under an hour!
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Cook chicken breasts for 4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
In a separate bowl whisk the balsamic vinegar, remaining oil, sugar, salt, black pepper, rosemary, oregano and garlic powder while the chicken is browning.
Add the peppers, mushrooms and green beans to the pan and pour the balsamic vinegar mixture over everything. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium low, cover the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes.
Uncover and transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes
Don't be afraid to prep ahead of time. This could include trimming the chicken, cutting the vegetables, and even mixing the balsamic sauce. This will make it even easier to throw together.
Use a pan that is oven-safe. I'm a huge fan of my Le Creuset Braiser. It's the perfect size for a one pot meal, transfers easily from stovetop to oven, and cleans really easily.
This is also great for meal prep. After I photographed this, I packed it up for a few days of work lunches, and it reheated pretty well. I really felt good about the fact that it was on the healthier side without sacrificing great taste. Boom! Easy balsamic chicken meal prep!
Add rice. When I make this for my family, I often serve it over rice. It's even better with extra sauce!
Leftovers and storage: This will last up to 4 days covered in the refrigerator.
