Chicken and Vegetable Bake
Chicken and Vegetable Bake is a healthy, one pan recipe for roasted chicken and vegetables. Seasoned with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and fresh basil, this dish has an Italian flair. A light summer meal with minimal prep work and clean up!
I’m always looking for new recipes to make when the weather is warm. Sometimes it’s just too hot for a bowl of soup or a plate of hot pasta. I’m looking for meals that incorporate seasonal vegetables, and ones that are a little lighter than our winter meals.
This recipe makes for a lovely summer meal. The vegetables are delicious, and it’s a very healthy dish. The great part: you can add any vegetables you prefer. It’s essentially a one pan dinner. You could even make it on sheet pan covered in foil for minimal clean up.
I especially like the use of seasonal vegetables like fresh tomatoes and zucchini and the fresh basil. Whether you get them from the store or from your own garden, these summer vegetables just taste better this time of year. The chicken and vegetables are seasoned with balsamic vinegar and olive oil to give it an Italian flavor. Bob and I both really liked this dinner, and I’ll be making it again!

Thanks for the shout out!
That is soooo weird that your stuff cooked at different times and that your oeven was filled w/ steam. I didnt need to cover mine at all. I suppose everyones ovens are different. But I am glad you enjoyed it.
What a tasty meal, and so easy too! Anything with zucchini = summer to me!
Looks so colorful and delicious.
I love delicious and comforting meals like this. These are so hard to resist in my opinion.
This looks so good to me and I totally understand about not wanting to eat soup or other hot dishes right now.
Yum!
