What’s better than a super quick and versatile meal? A super quick meal that only requires five main ingredients, that’s what! My honey balsamic chicken and peppers is the perfect week night meal that can be whipped up in less than 20 minutes, and can be served over pretty much any starch you can think of!
Honey Balsamic chicken and peppers is a meal we eat so often in our house because I normally have almost everything in my pantry and fridge. It’s super quick to throw together on a weeknight yet could easily be served at a dinner party! You don’t have to spend tons of money to make a delicious meal…Simple ingredients, simple recipe…BIG, HUGE FLAVOR…
Here’s the 5 main ingredients you’ll need…
- 2 chicken boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 bell peppers, any color
- 1 red onion
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
and then the staples you already have…
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- whatever other seasonings you’d like to throw in there
- and a starch of your choice- potatoes, pasta, egg noodles, rice…
- Start off by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper and any other seasoning you’d like. I use my homemade chicken blend.
- Heat up a large skillet and drizzle olive oil in the pan, once hot, add your chicken breasts and let cook through.
- While chicken is cooking, dice up your onions and peppers into bite site pieces or strips if you prefer
- When the chicken is fully cooked, remove from pan, and add the peppers and onions…lower heat as well to medium-low
- Let the chicken sit for about 5 minutes while your veggies are cooking, add your balsamic vinegar and honey to the pan.
- When the chicken has rested, dice it up and add it back into the pan and finish cooking until the sauce reduces and thickens up
- Spoon the chicken and peppers over your desired starch and serve hot!

I searched for balsamic chicken on Pinterest and this popped up. I needed something quick and easy. This was both, but moreover it was SO TASTY!!! Thank you for posting this! My dinner guests said, “This is definitely worth repeating.” I served it with mashed honey potatoes and wilted arugula. Will make again and again.

What did you garnish with?
Christine says
Just some sliced basil, you don’t have to do that 🙂 Parsley would work great too
