It was a decent meal, but not something I'd crave. I felt like it needed something extra, maybe a bit more seasoning. The balsamic glaze was good.

Easy to make and the flavors were great! The chicken was nice and moist, and the balsamic gave it a nice tang. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
