Baked Balsamic Chicken & Carrots

Recipe for Baked Balsamic Chicken.

Sometimes when I’m bored of our usual chicken recipes, I try to create something on the fly – this is one of those recipes. We really love balsamic vinegar and lately have really taken a liking to baked vegetables instead of boiled (which is what we’ve had for years). So, I combined the two and this is what I ended up with.

I must say, I’m very happy with how this recipe turned out. It was flavourful and the balsamic vinegar wasn’t as powerful as I was worried it would be. Elliott even ate this meal and he is the pickiest eater on the planet!
