One-Pan Balsamic Chicken with Root Vegetables

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts if preferred)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (AIP-compliant)

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Sea salt to taste

For the Vegetables:

  • 1 medium sweet potato, cubed

  • 1 cup carrots, sliced

  • 1 small red onion, sliced

  • 1 parsnip or turnip, cubed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Sea salt to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Prepare the Chicken:
    In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and sea salt.
    Coat the chicken pieces in this marinade and set aside while prepping the veggies.

  3. Prepare the Vegetables:
    Toss sweet potato, carrots, onion, and parsnip with olive oil, oregano, and salt.
    Spread the vegetables evenly on a large baking sheet.

  4. Assemble and Roast:
    Nestle the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
    Roast everything together for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C) and veggies are tender and caramelized. Flip the chicken once halfway through cooking for even browning.

  5. Serve:
    Spoon everything onto a plate or bowl and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
