Balsamic Chicken With Veggies

































This delicious dish, has moist and tender chicken costed in balsamic, italian dressing, and honey coating the and grape or cherry tomatoes, and green beans or asparagus. The combination of flavors, with the honey glazes all these ingredients and is a perfect match, I have made this dish two times, If I see balsamic, italian dressing, and honey those are my favorite ingredients to cook with. I personally love it with both the asparagus or the green beans, but I think green beans are my favorite. I love finding dishes like this that are all made in 1 skillet and 1 bowl. A quick and easy dish that will be ready in about 25 minutes, perfect for dinner, parties, having guest over. Make some rice and you have a amazing meal. Also a little tip if you are doing asparagus look for skinny ones, they are easier and quicker to cook with. I am making this meal tonight for dinner, can't wait.
