Giada De Laurentiis Says This 'Dinner-Party Worthy' Chicken Recipe 'Couldn't Be Easier to Whip Up'

Grilled, baked, slow-roasted — chicken is good no matter how you prepare it. But if you really want to wow your guests this season, try Giada De Laurentiis’ latest “dinner-party worthy” chicken recipe. It’s full of so much flavor, you’ll be amazed!

“This dinner party-worthy recipe couldn’t be easier to whip up,” De Laurentiis wrote on Instagram. Delicious flavor that’s easy? Sign us up! The Italian chef goes into more detail about the recipe in her caption: “Between the rich and nutty flavor of hazelnut with balsamic and herbs, this chicken has an elevated flavor that keeps you coming back for more,” she wrote.

De Laurentiis shared the Hazelnut Balsamic Sheet Pan Chicken recipe on her Giadzy website. The easy meal only takes 15 minutes to prep (!!) after marinating chicken for two hours. The marinade requires honey, hazelnut oil, and other ingredients, and it’s baked with Yukon Gold potatoes and smashed cerignola olives among other things.

In a summer 2023 cover interview with SheKnows, the cookbook author shared how creating tasty and simple recipes is a family tradition. “My mom taught me how to sort of, you know, really prioritize time, and how to really create fabulous dishes that were uncomplicated,” she told us.

This flavorful chicken recipe is the perfect example, and we love how it’s a complete meal all in one pan. You can add side salads or roasted veggies if you want, or just serve it on a plate on its own. It’s so good, it might just become your go-to recipe this summer!
