Notes
This sheet pan balsamic chicken recipe is as simple as it gets! Even though browning the chicken makes it a two step meal, it can absolutely be a one-step sheet pan dinner if you're in an even bigger rush. I just kinda like the added flavour that comes from browning the chicken first, but it certainly doesn't make or break the recipe.
I would also suggest using a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is fully cooked. We want to aim for an internal temperature of 165 F.
In addition, if you are REALLY pressed for time I would also suggest purchasing peeled garlic cloves instead of the whole bulb. You will easily be saving yourself 5 minutes of prep time. Plus I think we can all agree that peeling garlic is a pretty annoying step of any recipe, especially if you are peeling the whole clove.
