Ingredients:

• 3 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast

• 3 small heads of broccoli, chopped into pieces (about 4–5 cups)

• 3–4 medium carrots, shredded or cut into sticks

• 2 cups button mushrooms, halved

• 1 small red onion, diced into larger chunks

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Combine balsamic vinegar, oil, garlic, basil, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk to make sauce.

3. Place chicken in container with about 1/2 of the balsamic sauce. Toss chicken to coat and marinate in the fridge while you prep the remaining ingredients.

5. Place veggies, except for tomatoes, on the pan. Pour remaining balsamic sauce over veggies and toss veggies.

6. Place chicken on pan. Discard the marinade used for chicken.
