Honey Balsamic Baked Chicken Breasts is an easy Chicken Recipe where Chicken Breast is seasoned with herbs and garlic. It is topped with a flavorful Honey Balsamic Sauce and is baked in the oven along with Onions and tomatoes. Finally, it is broiled in the oven with some Mozzarella Cheese.

This baked Chicken breast recipe is a perfect weeknight dinner recipe for family. All you need is some juicy chicken breasts along with some balsamic vinegar and honey to make this amazing chicken breast recipe for dinner.
No matter how many recipes we have, I think we'll still never have enough easy Weeknight recipes. But, when you have Chicken, especially Chicken Breasts your dinner becomes a breeze.

You can make so many dinner recipes with Chicken. Starting from - Chicken Parmesan (This is made in an Air-Fryer and uses ZERO OIL), Broccoli Stuffed Chicken Breasts (So Creamy), Pizza Stuffed Chicken Breasts (seriously the best-baked Chicken recipe) 10-minute Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts (just the best dinner recipe ever), Orange Chicken (just the best recipe ever), Sheet Pan Harissa Chicken (one of the best Chicken recipes ever) and etc.
Baked Chicken Recipe:
When you need a quick Baked Chicken recipe, then think of this Balsamic Baked Chicken Breast. It's perfect because it really gets baked in just 25-30 minutes. Also, makes for an excellent sheet pan dinner recipe, which means easy clean up after dinner and take it from a homemaker, cleanup is the most tedious part after dinner. Right! I always appreciate a quick Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe for this reason.

Balsamic Honey Baked Chicken breasts are just so amazing. These are topped with a quick seasoning, honey balsamic sauce, and baked along with cherry tomatoes and red onions. After this gets baked it looks like a Tomato Baked Chicken. The cherry tomatoes get mushy and roasted in the oven and end up in a tomato sauce around the Chicken Breast.
Finally, a generous sprinkle of melty good Mozzarella Cheese over the Chicken, and this super easy Chicken Recipe is ready to be served! Making this reminds me so much of my Pizza Stuffed Chicken and also my Spinach Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breasts. Although, this isn't a stuffed Chicken Breast recipe, however, the glaze and the topping remind me of similar flavors 🙂 You can serve this chicken with some homemade Garlic Breadsticks and you're going to love every bite of your homemade Chicken Dinner.

And for now, just sit back and relax as you will have the best ever Baked Chicken Recipe on the table in just 30 minutes. Isn't it so much fun to make. Practically a dump and forget dinner recipe and that too in the oven! A total winner recipe for my family 🙂
How to Bake Chicken Breasts in the Oven
Baking chicken breasts in the oven is a breeze. All you need is some thick and juicy Chicken Breasts. Cut them in half so that you have thin slices of Chicken Breast. Cutting the Breasts in half, lengthwise will make them thinner and they will end up cooking quickly.
Now, just season the Chicken Breasts with salt, pepper, and some grated garlic, olive oil, and Italian seasoning. Place them in the baking dish along with grape tomatoes and red onions around it.
Just one quick tip here - Always use a good quality Olive oil for anything Balsamic. Because only good quality Olive oil will bring out the flavors of Italian seasoning and Balsamic vinegar.

Coming down to making the Honey Balsamic Sauce: In a mixing jar combine Balsamic Vinegar, Honey, Grated Garlic, and Brown Sugar. Give it all a quick mix and pour this over the seasoned Chicken Breasts.


Bake the Chicken Breasts - Bake the Honey Balsamic Chicken Breasts at 430F | 220C for 25-30 minutes. The cooking time of the chicken greatly depends on the thickness of the Chicken Breasts. However, in general, an average thick Chicken Breast cooks in 25 minutes to perfection. Chicken Breasts cook pretty quickly.
Add the Mozzarella Cheese - I have used pre-shredded mozzarella Cheese to top the Chicken Breasts. Just sprinkle them over the Chicken breasts and broil for 4-5 minutes.

Finally, serve this Honey balsamic Baked Chicken Breast with some chopped parsley on top.
What to serve Baked Chicken Breasts with?
I like to serve these Honey Balsamic Baked Chicken Breasts with rice. There is so much tomato juice that gets released after the Tomato gets cooked and it's so flavorful, that this feels perfect to be served with a hearty bowl of rice.
You can also serve this with some Mashed Potatoes. Or try a low-carb version of Mashed Cauliflower or Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks along with some side salad.
