HooYa!! This was indescribably delicious. So packed with flavor. The sauce is kickin'. I really liked the balsamic vinegar flavor and the honey. I sprinkled a little fresh ground Parmesan on top of the chicken and veggies. Yumsville ;)

This was great, and quite easy. I used fresh asparagus, and served it over pasta. Mmmmmmm. My family loved it.

Thanks Derf for a recipe that really shines! I have made it at least 10 times now, and even bought a $20.00 bottle of Italian basalmic vinegar just for this dish. I have experimented and decided the sweeter basalmics deliver the best punch for this recipe. The chicken turns out succulent and moist. Tenders or thinly sliced chicken breasts are perfect for this dish. The asparagus and carrots are stir fried to a delicious crisp tender treat taking care not to overcook them. I sometimes use the prepackaged shredded carrots as an additional time saver. The dressing is out of this world with an occasional pizazz of crushed red pepper to give it a little zing. Topped with diced fresh tomatoes, Basalmic Chicken With Veggies is unbelievably delicious, and so very healthy too. This is a dish that comes together quick, and is not to be missed!

Good dish, very different from the norm. I would make sure you have a good balsalmic for this one because it really soaks in the flavor. I served with some noodles and it was great!
