Balsamic Chicken

I am excited to bring you a new series here on The Creative Bite, called Taste Tested. Every so often, I run across a recipe from another talented food blogger that has a recipe that tastes so good I would love to share it with all of you. Taste Tested is going to be the place to share those recipes along with other food items or tidbits that are just too good to keep to myself. Today’s Balsamic Chicken comes from The Cookie Writer!

Balsamic Chicken Dinner Recipe

When I saw this recipe from The Cookie Writer, I knew I had to make it right away. Balsamic, garlic and chicken all baked together into one easy and delicious Balsamic Chicken. How could you go wrong?! I popped some of these awesome Balsamic Dijon Roasted Root Vegetables in the oven while the chicken was baking for an amazing dinner loaded with tangy balsamic flavor.

Not only was this a delicious dinner, but it was a healthy meal with less than 400 calories!

Easy Meal Prep Recipe

The best part of this meal was that it made plenty to pack for lunches for the week. I whipped out my trusty containers and packed up some chicken and vegetables into the containers for easy lunches that were so much better than anything from dining services! I love when I have a tasty meal packed in my work refrigerator that I look forward to for lunch instead of running around trying to find something at dining services at the last minute.
