INGREDIENT NOTES:
CHICKEN:
- This is lean, and protein loaded. It cook rapidly, soaking up the balsamic marinade. They remain juicy when roasted, and we can replace them with thighs for the additional flavor.
BALASMIC VINEGAR:
- Balsamic vinegar adds tangy sweetness, balances roasted veggies, and caramelizes slightly in the oven. It gives the meal a robust, slightly sweet taste.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil provides healthful lipids, keeps chicken juicy, and helps vegetables crisp up after roasting. Extra virgin olive oil provides the greatest flavor in this recipe.
GARLIC:
- Fresh garlic enhances the flavor of the marinade by combining with herbs and vinegar. It enhances the scent and provides a delicious base to the dish.
OREGANO:
- Dried oregano has an earthy, somewhat spicy flavor that goes well with chicken and vegetables. A small quantity is sufficient.
THYME:
- Dried thyme provides warmth and heightens the balsamic natural sweetness. It roasts wonderfully without losing flavor.
ZUCCHINI:
- Zucchini is low in carbohydrates, delicate when baked, and quickly absorbs other tastes. It’s an excellent method to bulk up your meals while remaining keto.
BELL PEPPER:
- Bell peppers add brilliant color and natural sweetness. The roasted peppers will enhance the taste. Red, yellow, and orange peppers work very nicely.
RED ONIONS:
- Red onion caramelizes to produce a mellow, sweet flavor that counteracts the acidity of the vinegar.
CHERRY TOMATOES:
- We use roasted tomatoes to make the dish more flavor ful. They complement the herbs and the tart balsamic glaze.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Salt and black pepper develop each taste in the dish. It helps to balance the sweet taste of vegetable and poultry.
