Talking about family, I also wanted to share this AwesomeExciting news with you’ll that I’ve joined CK Mondavi and Family as a Brand Ambassador.

That means I’d be sharing creative/delicious recipes paired with their award-winning wines from time to time.

I’m pairing this roasted dish with their Bronze Award Winner (Tastings 2016 World Wine Championships) Chardonnay from CK Mondavi and Family.

The wine is medium-bodied with the ‘ aromas of lemon and citrus combined with flavors of apple and pear leading to a delightfully crisp finish ‘ and goes perfectly with the roasted meat n veggies.

That’s not the only award this wine has won, it’s been also the ‘Best Buy’ 2015 award by the Beverage Tasting Institute.

Now, getting back to our Quick Oven Roasted Balsamic Chicken with the vegetable recipe.

It’s extremely easy to prepare, just chop, mix, marinate (for 5 minutes) and then roast in the oven – that’s it.

The result is this incredibly scrumptious, fingerlicking good recipe with umami flavors. The most important part of the recipe is the ‘marinade‘!!

It gives this dish so much flavor and takes your everyday chicken and vegetables to a whole new level of deliciousness.

As it’s a Christmas feast, I’m adding cranberries along with our favorite veggies like:

Beans, 

Red Potatoes,

Cherry Tomatoes,

Carrot

However, you can substitute with any vegetable of choice.

Before I leave you to try this gorgeous and yummm recipe, there’s an important thing I want to discuss but FIRST’ let me pour myself a glass of this crisp Chardonnay  and let’s talk a little about

Pro Tips & Process to Make the Quick Oven Roasted Balsamic Chicken with Vegetables

—- ” How to Achieve the Perfect Juicy Chicken Everytime ” —

 

1. Always Use Chicken with Some Fat:

Chicken is a lean meat and loses it’s moisture upon cooking, hence to keep it succulent, you need either skin-on-chicken or use butter or thick oil to help keep the chicken moist while it roast or pan sears.

 

2. Marinate:

Adding a layer of marinade or some kind of juice also helps chicken get some extra moisture and cook tenderly.

 

3. Slow Roasted in Oven:

This helps in locking the moisture while it slowly and evenly roasts the chicken. Also, slow roast results in even browning of the chicken.

 

4. Brushing the Roasted Chicken:

This is an EXTREMELY important step as this results in an extremely glossy and juicy chicken. Once your chicken is ready, simply brush it lightly with the same marinade or butter.

Just keep it back in the oven for 2 minutes while the moisture gets absorbed and serve.one-pot-roasted-mustard-chicken-recipe1That’s it from my side this week and hope you try this chicken along with CK Mondavi and Family wines for that perfect family meal this festive season.

If you like red wines more, you can even try the CK Mondavi and Family Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon as they go perfectly with this dish too.easy-one-pan-chicken-roast-recipe2
