INGREDIENTS
- 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 4 tbs. balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbs. olive oil
- 2 tbs. lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 tbs. rosemary, chopped
- ½ lb. brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 apple, peeled and chopped (fuji or honey crisp)
- 2 cups mushroom, halved
- 4 slices of bacon chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Dice chicken in bite-size pieces, set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard and rosemary. Whisk to make the sauce. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Place chicken in Ziploc bag or glass container. Add ½ of your marinade mixture. Toss chicken to coat and marinate in the fridge while you prep the remaining ingredients. Note: Chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours.
- Next, chop the Brussels, mushrooms, and apple. Additionally, chop the bacon into small pieces.
- Place the chopped Brussels, mushrooms, apple and bacon on the prepared sheet pan. Pour the remaining marinade mixture and toss to incorporate, making sure all the pieces are coated.
- Make space for the chicken (tongs are helpful to make room and place your chicken). Place the marinated chicken on pan. Discard any remaining marinade used for chicken.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove from oven and stir mixture. Return to the oven.
- Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. This will depend on the thickness of the chicken. Once thermometer reaches 165℉ when inserted in the thickest part of the chicken, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Enjoy!
