Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4–6 Chicken Breast (boneless / skinless)
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • 1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Black Pepper
  • 5 Tbsp. Olive Oil (divided)
  • 3/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 7 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups Water
  • 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. Ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp. Cornstarch
  • 4 Tbsp. Butter (melted)
  • 6 Gold Potatoes (quartered)
  • Fresh Green Beans
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Nonstick Cooking Spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then season both sides of the chicken breast with the mixture (reserve a little of the seasoning mixture for later).
  3. In a skillet on medium heat, add 3 tbsp. olive oil.  Place the chicken breasts into the hot skillet and sear both sides just until golden brown.  Then remove the chicken, place on a dish, and set aside.
  4. Add remaining 2 tbsp. of olive oil to the drippings in the skillet.  Then add the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ketchup, and cornstarch, and stir until combined.  Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and continue to stir and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.  Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Transfer the chicken into a 9 x 13 baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Spoon the sauce mixture on the chicken breasts.  Then place the potatoes and fresh green beans around the chicken.  Drizzle 4 tbsp. of melted butter over the potatoes and green beans, and season with the remaining seasoning mixture.
  7. Bake in the oven 1 hour, or until the chicken breast reaches internal temperature of 180 degrees and potatoes and green beans are tender (baste chicken with the sauce 1 or 2 times while baking).  Remove from the oven, serve and enjoy.
