An easy One Pan Roasted Balsamic Chicken and Tomatoes dish that helps add a twist and some dazzle to boring chicken… And beginner cooks can make this with no problem.
A Bit About Me & My Family
One of my sisters called they other day and jokingly said “I still don’t know how to cook help!”. My hubby yelled “follow us on twitter”! And my kiddo said “Follow me on Facebook” in a Malibu Valley Girl Voice. LOL
And one of my other sisters always screams “I don’t cook! I do the hair! And you do the cooking!”
Well, I feel that my two beautiful sisters have every right to be the worst cooks in America. Because they are two awesome career women I am so proud of. One is a school principal, finishing her doctorate degree, and a great single mom! And she is only 29! My other sister runs a beauty salon, and can make you look like Beyonce with a little grease and a dollar store hair comb. And this hot babe is only 25 years old! They have been so busy focusing on their goals, and I couldn’t be more proud…
With that being said friends, I made 3 easy chicken dishes this week I plan on sharing for all of you busy hard working people that come here to visit.
One Pan Roasted Balsamic Chicken Recipe
I am starting with this Roasted Balsamic Chicken and Tomatoes that gives you a beautiful dish that raises the bar. The Spanish paprika adds a hint of sweetness to the recipe. And between the honey, paprika, and balsamic vinegar, the chicken ends up having a sweet and tangy taste that pairs well with the tomatoes. As for the tomatoes, they absorb all of that delicious sauce enhancing their sweetness. It sounds fancy but it’s not hard to make at all… It can be done!
Why This Chicken Recipe Is Easy
- You only use one cooking dish (a nice large oven friendly pan or dutch oven) meaning easy clean up.
- Also, you only have to use a few ingredients.
- You brown the chicken, place all of your ingredients in the pan you browned the chicken in, then pop it in the oven and let the oven do the rest of the cooking for you.
Budget-Friendly, Too
This dish is also budget friendly when it comes to choosing meat choices because chicken thighs are a cheaper option. Even though it’s a less expensive meat source, it still has great potential because it takes a lot to over cook chicken thighs as you learn how to create delectable recipes.
Now Bust a move and make this dish. And complete this meal with French Crusty Bread (Dip the Bread in the Sauce), and a salad. Done!
RECIPE NOTES

Have you ever tried using smoked paprika? It adds so much flavor to the dishes, it’s a spice we use A LOT in the past few years.
Sending you lots and lots of hugs,
