I feel bad giving this such a low rating but WOWZER - if you want a bowl full of vinegar, make this. We love vinegar, in fact, our salad dressing is straight balsamic with a little s&p. The vinegar on this completely overpowered everything else in the dish. I had to add about 2 cups of chicken broth to make it edible - but then it was a soupy mess. This might work with a very mild balsamic - skip the high $ bottle for this recipe.

We all loved this. I did do a couple of minor tweaks: I diced the chicken instead of using whole breasts and used 1/3 of a box of Pomi tomatoes instead of fresh (Pomi is pretty much as good as fresh). To finish it off, I added the fresh spinach to the sauce and served over cooked farfalle. Topped with a bit of freshy grated Parmiagiano-Reggiano, it was SOOOO yummy!

This is a wonderfully easy to make dinner packed with fresh flavor. My "tweaks" were: used chicken broth in place of white wine (didn't have any), added a few shakes of Montreal steak seasoning to the chicken breasts along with salt before searing, removed seeds from the tomatoes, and added fresh chopped basil at the end. I served this over egg noodles as suggested. Thank you for a great recipe!

I'm Korean and live in beautiful Utah and sunny Florida. I like to bake and cook when I have time! I love Korean food, ethnic food in general (always the best!) and my husband is Korean too. This means we LOVE spicy!!!!
I am an ER and cardiac intervention nurse, my husband is an investment analyst and financial planner. We have a dog and a cat. I enjoy all things arts and culture, reading, animals, photography, figure skating/dance/gymnastics, and of course, cooking and baking. Traveling is my biggest passion. I've been all over the world, and I hope to visit Greece someday soon! I also want to go on a medical mission to Africa.
Some of my favorite things to make are kimchi jjigae and kimchi fried rice, (anything Korean, really), madelines, cakes, and noodles.
