This balsamic chicken with roasted veggies is one of my favorite easy to throw together meals. It comes together in just a few minutes of effort, makes a great dinner, and is the perfect meal to prep ahead and eat for lunches for a few days. The balsamic flavor just intensifies and gets better with time.
It makes plenty to feed a family, or can be split into containers to be saved for lunches during the week. The chicken stays good for 3-4 days. After that the vegetable start to get a little soggy.
I love having it for dinner fresh, and then lunch the next day as well. It helps to take some of the pressure off, and means a healthy lunch no matter how busy I get. My husband also loves to take this to work.
Tools used to make Balsamic Chicken Meal Prep
- Balsamic: A quality balsamic makes a huge difference. Once I was in Italy and I got to do a taste test tour of several different balsamic vinegars. The difference in taste and quality is astounding. Find one you like plain, and you will like it in this dish.
- Sheet Pan: These classic sheet pans are great for cooking all kinds of things on. And if you want to cut back on the mess, use a sheet pan liner/silicone baking mat too.
- Meal Prep Containers: Having quality meal prep containers that are dishwasher safe, microwave safe, sturdy, and a good proportion is one of the best ways to stay consistent with your meal prepping. These Fit Packer ones are my favorite.
