In a sauce pan bring balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes until reduced by half.

Spoon half of the balsamic sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and carrots and potatoes are tender.

5 minutes before the chicken is done – add the asparagus with the carrots. You don’t want to over cook your asparagus so make sure to not add them until the last few minutes.

Adding them too soon will make your asparagus soggy which you definitely do not want.

Cook until asparagus is tender.
