Ingredients

For the Chicken

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts)

• 3 tablespoons Herbes de Provence Olive Oil

• 2 tablespoons Sicilian Lemon Balsamic

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, but recommended)

• Zest of ½ fresh lemon

For the Spring Vegetables

• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

• 1 cup baby carrots

• 1 small red onion, sliced

• 2 tablespoons Herbes de Provence Olive Oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken, In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Herbes de Provence Olive Oil, Sicilian Lemon Balsamic, garlic, Dijon, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thoroughly in the marinade. Allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
2. Prepare the Veggies, Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the asparagus, carrots, and red onion on a large sheet pan or in a cast iron skillet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss lightly. Place the marinated chicken on the same pan, nestling it among the vegetables.
3. Roast to Golden Perfection, Roast for 35–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the skin is golden and crisp. The balsamic will lightly caramelize while roasting, creating beautiful color and flavor.
4. Finish with Bright Citrus, Once removed from the oven, drizzle a small amount of Sicilian Lemon Balsamic over the chicken for a final pop of brightness. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and serve immediately.
