Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken and vegetables.
Make the balsamic glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Arrange chicken and vegetables: On a large sheet pan, spread out the chicken breasts evenly, then scatter the broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, and red onion around them.
Coat with glaze: Pour the balsamic mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Toss the vegetables gently on the pan to coat them well without displacing the chicken.
Bake the dish: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are cooked through and tender.
Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the chicken and vegetables before serving to add a bright, fresh flavor.
