Equipment

  • Meat mallet
  • Oval Ceramics Baking Dish Set
  • Mixing bowl set
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Balloon Whisk
  • cutting board
  • Knife Block Set
  • Digital Thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounce boneless skinless chicken breast 6 ounces each
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes halved
  • Chopped parsley for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Cover the chicken breasts with plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound and flatten them to equal thickness. Place in a 9×13 oven-safe baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic until well combined. Pour the marinade on top of the chicken and flip each chicken breast to evenly coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes but no more than 2 hours.
  • Slice the cherry tomatoes and add them to the baking dish all around the chicken.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until meat thermometer shows 165°F in the thickest part of the chicken breast.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sides.
