 This Baked Balsamic Chicken recipe has been a family favorite for years. The recipe was created when Greta was first born over 3 years ago and has been a regular feature on the dinner rotation ever since. The marinade takes minutes to prepare and then is poured in a zip-top bag with the chicken.  Let that sit in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.  Then you just pour the chicken and marinade in a baking dish and bake.  Simple!

After all of these years, we have not changed a thing with the Baked Balsamic Chicken recipe. However we have discovered an equally easy and delicious staple to pair with the chicken ~ Minute® Multi-Grain Medley!

Minute® Multi-Grain Medley is the newest product from Minute Rice. It’s a blend of four gluten-free, 100% whole grains, all non GMO including long grain brown rice, Thai red rice, wild rice and quinoa and it conveniently cooks in 10 minutes. Plus, Minute® Multi-Grain Medley comes in pre-portioned bags, making it even easier to prep for your family.

Minute® Rice is quick and easy to prepare and is a great pantry staple. Minute® Rice is a go-to ingredient your whole family will love and is especially great to use during the busy back-to-school season. Minute Rice helps (or does) the cooking so the rice consistently turns out right.

What I like about this Baked Balsamic Chicken recipe paired with the Minute® Multi-Grain Medley (or any Minute Rice variety) is that flavors are very complementary and nothing overpowers.  In the recipe below, I listed oregano, but any of your favorite herb(s) would work well here.  I also made the recipe for 2, but it can easily be multiplied to serve more, if desired. Enjoy!
