This recipe is a winner! The balsamic chicken is bursting with flavor, and it's incredibly easy to prepare. The ingredients are fresh and create a wonderful taste. Loved it!

Christopher Williams3

The recipe was okay, but the balsamic glaze was a little too sweet for my liking. I think I'd prefer a slightly more savory version. The chicken itself was well-cooked.
