  • 1 lb. boneless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 multicolor bell peppers cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up) or spray with cooking spray.
  • Add the chicken, peppers and onions to the baking sheet. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard and garlic.
  • Drizzle half the sauce over the chicken and veggies (save the other half) and toss to combine.

  • When done, drizzle the remaining sauce over top and sprinkle with fresh basil.
  • Serve with rice, cauliflower rice or enjoy as is!

Notes

This sheet pan meal is low in fat so I would recommend serving with something that has some fat in it to make this meal more filling. Would be delicious with some avocado or a salad with some feta or goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette!
