Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. On a baking sheet, toss 1 pint cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes until tomatoes soften and edges begin to caramelize.
  2. Step 2: While tomatoes roast, season 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 5 minutes on one side until golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Flip chicken and cook an additional 4 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear.
  5. Step 5: Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low and add 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves to the skillet. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Return chicken to the skillet and spoon the glaze over it to coat.
  7. Step 7: Serve chicken topped with the roasted cherry tomatoes.
