Ingredients
  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 7 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
  • 10 oz cherry tomatoes
  • handful of basil, sliced into ribbons
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half the chicken thighs to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until crisp. Transfer to sheet pan. Repeat with remaining chicken. Spread chicken out on the sheet pan about 2-3 inches from each other so they are not touching.

  3. To make the balsamic vinaigrette. In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in 6 tbsp olive oil until the dressing is well combined.

  4. In a large bowl, combine baby carrots, green beans, cherry tomatoes, and half of the balsamic vinaigrette. Toss together until well coated. Spread the veggies around the chicken in a single layer. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette on the chicken thighs.

  5. Place into oven and bake for 35-45 minutes until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender. Remove from oven and garnish with basil ribbons.
