Amazing! The chicken was so tender and the flavour was great. I also skipped the peppers and added roasted garlic. My husband devoured it. He asked what its was called so he can request it again and again! -
We didn't have any peppers so we skipped that ingredient. The chicken was delicious and light. Thanks Melany! -
I also did not have any peppers and so omitted them this time (will make sure to add next time) and I also added some more thyme and balsamic. Very delicious and complexly flavored dish. Thank you!

The chicken turned out very tender and juicy. The flavors were great. I omitted the peppers, since I did not have any. Next time I will add garlic. I served it with baked potato wedges. Nice and healthy meal. -
I tried this recipe in order to use up some of the thyme that was growing out of control in my windowbox. It turned out delicious - very flavorful and fresh while not being too heavy. I added a few extra veggies and a little more thyme and balsamic, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My husband loved it too, so I'm making it again tonight! (and he even sent the recipe to his parents...)

Hi, I'm 27/F, originally from Alaska, but for the past five years i've been in Seattle. I work as an HRA/Dental claims processor at Flex-Plan Services, and am working towards a degree. In what? I'm just going for my AA and working from there. We all have to start somewhere.
I love this place! Every time I need a new recipe, I come here. Rarely have I had a negative experience. Thanks to all for making this a great site.
