You'll love this easy chicken recipe that takes just about 45 minutes to throw together. You only need one pan to make it, which makes cleanup amazingly quick. Feel free to serve with rice or quinoa alongside to complete the meal. To make the recipe, simply toss the onions, leeks, red peppers, and yellow peppers in a pan, arrange rosemary and chicken breasts over, and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar. Stick the pan in the oven and it's basically set it and forget it. Roasting the vegetables helps to bring out their natural sweetness, and the balsamic vinegar helps tie everything together.
