This was excellent!!!! I did do like some of the others and cook the chicken in the balsamic vinegar. Also, instead of a full cup of water, I added about 3/4 c of water, 1/4 c white water, 1/4 c balsamic vinegar, and then a splash of liquid chicken bullion. And about 2 tbsp of brown sugar. At the end I mixed about 1 tbsp of corn starch with a splash of water to the cooking liquid to try to thicken up. It was absolutely delicious! I made this with rice and a tomato, pepper, green bean feta salad.

This was an easy recipe to follow, and while my husband liked it, I felt there was something missing.
It tasted like a "honey/soy" without the honey 
I dont think there is anything wrong with the recipe, I guess I am just not fussed on cooked balsalmic.

Simple ingredients and great flavor. I made a few changes based on reading the comments. I used a TBLP of olive oil to brown chicken breasts in; removed breasts and added 2 TBSP of 1/2 fat bacon bits to cook the onions in. When adding the chicken back into skillet I added the balsamic and added 5 oz sliced mushrooms at the same time. At the end I thickened the wonderful sauce with 1 tbsp of flour (mixed with 1/4 cup sauce in a shaker bottle, then poured into skillet). Made a terrific gravy. Leftovers will be served over rice. Excellent entree! I served it with baked broccoli/tomato and sauteed winter squash with maple, and sour dough for sopping up the sauce! Thanks for a wonderful recipe and very explicit directions.

Definitely a KEEPER! I wish I could give it 20 stars! I didn't do a whole pound of onions (altho' I used two large onions--maybe they weighed a pound?). The whole thing was SIMPLE and EASY to prepare, not to mention DELICIOUS to eat. I'm SO glad that I made extra...now I can enjoy this AGAIN! On the advice of an earlier reviewer, I added about a half-pound of fresh, sliced mushrooms, and that really gave it a nice appearance (not to mention something else to LOVE!). Made for ZWT 3 Spanish Adventure
