This was really good! We used grape tomatoes cut in half instead of plum and garlic powder instead of salt. I thought the bell pepper over powered the green beans and will likely omit them next time. I also thought the chicken needed to be in the balsamic sauce longer and will likely add it with the water next time. -
I used bacon I cooked early in the day. So when I was ready to cook the chicken I used olive oil. I omitted the garlic salt. I halved the recipe. I did not like the tomatoes in this. Next time I will omit them and add more green beans and bell peppers (used orange). I loved the taste of the veggies (except tomatoes like I said) with the balsamic vinaigrette. The chicken was good but next time I will use boneless chicken breasts. And maybe cut them in cutlets to have more flavour. Thanks Jen :) Made for Please Review My Recipe. -
Review My Recipe Tag 2007 ~ Really enjoyed this. Added an onion and cooked up the bacon but removed it from the pan and then sprinkled on top at the end so that it would be crunchy. Also sprinkled a little feta cheese on top to serve. Definitely an easy and quick recipe although cooked a bit longer than suggested as I wanted to make sure the veggies were cooked. Thanks Jen! -
Very good. Thanks for posing. -
Excellent recipe! I didnt use garlic salt, but garlic powder. Very easy recipe that comes together pretty fast. I left out the peppers since my mother doesnt like them, other wise I made as stated. Only took about 30 min to make, which is a major plus!
