Where can I buy balsamic glaze?

Balsamic glaze is the best!!! However, it is NOT the same as balsamic vinegar. To make your lives a little but easier, here are the stores you can find balsamic glaze:

1. Your grocery store! Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Stop & Shop, Safeway, Publix, and more! It may also be called “Barrel-Aged Balsamic” or “Reduced Balsamic.”
2. On Amazon! You can order Balsamic glaze on Amazon – here is my favorite!
3. Make your own with balsamic vinegar! Check below for instructions on how to make your own balsamic glaze on the stovetop.

Can I make my own balsamic glaze with balsamic vinegar?

Yes!! You absolutely can make your own balsamic glaze if you only have balsamic vinegar on hand! Here are the steps on how to make it:

1. Bring 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar to a boil on your stovetop.
2. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 10 – 20 minutes until the balsamic reduces down to 2 to 3 tablespoons of glaze.

Tips for making sheet pan dinners

Here are my pro tips for making the BEST sheet pan dinners:

1. Do not overcrowd your pan! Veggies that are overlapping or on top of each other will not get crispy! Be sure to use a large sheet pan so that everything cooks perfectly even. If not, break up your ingredients into two smaller sheet pans.
2. Cut your veggies nice and thick! Thin brussel sprouts and onion slices will not get tender. on the inside and crispy on the outside if they burn.
3. Rotate your pan halfway through. When you flip the chicken breasts over, I suggest rotating your pan and also stirring your veggies to ensure even cooking.

How to make sheet pan chicken and balsamic brussel sprouts

My favorite thing about this simple and easy one pan dinner recipe (besides the taste of course) is how easy they are to make! This recipe is the absolute perfect healthy family dinner or meal prep recipe; here is how I made sheet pan chicken with crispy balsamic glazed brussel sprouts:

First, preheat your oven to 425 degree F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Next, clean your Brussel sprouts by trimming the ends and cutting them in half.

After that, in a large mixing bowl, combine halved Brussel sprouts, sliced red onions, olive oil, and garlic. Make sure to season generously with salt and pepper. Now, stir to combine and spread out across two-thirds of the baking sheet.

Once the veggies are done being prepared, season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them on the baking sheet along with the vegetables, and place the sheet in the oven to roast for 8 minutes.

After 8 minutes, flip the chicken breasts over and stir the vegetables. Rotate the pan and place back into the oven for another 5 – 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the tray and allow the chicken breasts to rest for several minutes if slicing.

Now, turn on the broil setting (500 F), stir vegetables again, and broil for 2 – 4 minutes until brussels are crispy on the outside and tender in the center.

Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze all over the Brussels sprouts and red onions.

Enjoy your deliciously crisp balsamic brussels and oven roasted chicken! The perfect healthy dinner.

How to store and meal prep this one pan crispy balsamic glazed chicken

One of my favorite things about this one pan dinner is that you can save extras for meal prep! This recipe makes two filling, hearty, and tasty servings; but you can easily double or triple the recipe and store extras for meal prep.

To meal prep this recipe, be sure to let the chicken and vegetables completely cool, and then simply divide into 2 separate airtight containers and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
