How to Make Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken
This meal looks seriously impressive, but it only takes a few simple steps to prepare. The combination of bacon, brussels sprouts, and balsamic vinegar makes this sheet pan chicken dish anything but ordinary.
Make the marinade
Mix together all of the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Place the chicken into the bowl and coat well. Set aside.
Prep the sheet pan
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the chopped potatoes, sprouts, and bacon all around the pan. Take the chicken out of the marinade and place it on the sheet pan. Pour the reserved marinade on the vegetables and coat evenly.
Bake
Bake for about half an hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. You can check to see if the chicken is done by taking the temperature internally. Once it reaches 165 F, it’s done. Serve and enjoy!

Ingredients
- Balsamic Marinade
1/3 cup 1/3 balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp 3 lemon juice
1 tbsp 1 olive oil
1 tbsp 1 minced garlic
1/2 tsp 1/2 salt
1/2 tsp 1/2 pepper

1 lb 1 brussels sprouts, halved
2 lbs 2 chicken breast, cut into large chunks
6 6 raw strips of bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 1/2 lbs 1 1/2 golden potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large bowl and whisk well. Place the chicken breast chunks into the sauce mixture and set to the side.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the potatoes, brussels sprouts, and bacon pieces all around the sheet pan. Place the chicken pieces around the vegetables. Pour the leftover marinade all over the vegetables.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Enjoy!
It was okay. Took wayyy longer to cook than the 35 mins more like 60 mins and the potatoes still weren’t done and the bacon never got crispy. I would try it again and maybe up the oven temp, put potstoes and chicken in longer with the ba on and add Brussel Sprouts later in the cooking. Very flavourful tho. The marinade is spot on.
This dish turned out great overall, but after a 1/2 hour at 375 degrees the veggies were a bit undercooked with lots of liquid still in the pan. Cranked the heat up to 425 for another 1/2 hour and that did the trick. I’ll likely cook this at 425 to start for 45 minutes next time and should get better results. Thanks for the recipe!
Could you use frozen brussels sprouts in this recipe??
