SHEET PAN HONEY BALSAMIC CHICKEN TENDERS AND VEGETABLES

Can you believe summer is coming to a close and school is starting up?

In my house that means that quick, healthy dinners are the key to a happy household during the week.

As a mom of three boys under seven, I must admit that dinners during the week can be a struggle.

Between homework and after-school sports we don’t have time for complicated meals every night.

Sheet pan meals are the answer. 

Today’s Sheet Pan Honey Balsamic Chicken Tenders and Vegetables will be on rotation in my house this school year.  

If you haven’t tried sheet pan meals, you have to! They are life changing.

What I love most about sheet pan meals is that everything cooks on one baking sheet meaning less clean-up at the end of the meal.

That is music to my ears and I am sure many of you as well.

Let’s quickly talk about how easy this meal is to prep and a little about the ingredients.

First of all, the bulk of your time will be spent chopping up your vegetables and creating the two marinades.

I like to line my baking sheet with parchment paper to create an even easier clean-up but you don’t have to.

Take your Just BARE Chicken Breast Tenderloins and lay them in a row on your baking sheet.

Use a brush and cover each side of your chicken with the chicken marinade. 

Feel free to drizzle whatever chicken marinade is left over the chicken.

Next put your onion, zucchini and bell peppers {save the tomatoes and carrots to add to the sheet plan half way through cooking} in a large mixing bowl and add the vegetable marinade.

Mix the veggies and the marinade together and spread an even layer of veggies next to the chicken.

Meal prep tip: Prepare your vegetables and your marinades ahead of time so when you are ready to make this meal you just have to grab your vegetables and your package of Just BARE^® Chicken Breast Tenderloins out of the fridge.

From there you are roasting everything in the oven and wallah!

You have a healthy, protein packed dinner that your family is going to love.

I pair this meal with brown rice or pasta, but it works great as a meal on its own as well.

One of the most important parts of a sheet pan meal is the protein that you use, which is why I make sure to use Just BARE Chicken. 

What I love about Just BARE chicken is it is all natural with no antibiotics ever, no hormones, vegetable and grain fed, and no artificial additives.

You can feel good about feeding their chicken to your family.

Another thing I really like about Just BARE chicken is that it is hand-trimmed chicken that is ready to cook right out of the package without unwanted fat.

That makes meal time even easier.

Their natural chicken is also traceable to family farms, meaning you can find out where your food is coming from.

As we head into the fall and winter months keep this Sheet Pan Chicken Tenderloin recipe on hand.

The flavors from the sweet and savory sauce combined with the healthy, fresh chicken and veggies makes this a meal you will be making time and time again.

Ingredients

Chicken & Vegetables

• 1 - 14 ounce package of Just BARE Chicken Breast Tenderloins
• 1/4 of a large sweet onion, cut into chunks
• 1 medium zucchini, cut into chunks
• 1 bell peppers, seeds removed, cut into chunks
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
• 1 cup matchstick carrots

Vegetable Marinade

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Chicken Marinade

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper {optional}
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In two medium bowls whisk together each of the marinades {the chicken marinade and the vegetables marinade}.

Place parchment paper on a large baking tray and lay the chicken tenders in a row. Use a brush to brush each side of the chicken tenders with the chicken marinade. Drizzle the remaining marinade over top of the chicken.

In a large mixing bowl put the onion, zucchini and bell peppers {not the tomatoes or carrots}, add the vegetable marinade in and combine well.

Pour the vegetables on the baking sheet next to the chicken and spread the vegetables into an even layer.

Roast in the oven at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes and then add the tomatoes and carrots to the sheet pan. Roast for another 10-15 minutes or until the chicken tenders reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve over brown or white rice, pasta or on its own.

Notes

Feel free to use whatever vegetables you like in this sheet pan meal. If you use something like butternut squash make sure you cut those pieces smaller as they take longer to cook.

Try adding small baby potatoes or chopped potatoes, but once again make sure they are small chunks so they get soft.

When chopping your vegetables into chunks make sure they are cut smaller and they are similar size so they cook evenly unless they are a root vegetable or potato.
