Had chicken on the meal plan for tonight, but wasn’t sure what kind until I saw this post. It’s perfect and I have all the ingredients in my house. Can’t wait to try it out. Thank you for the recipe. This meal tonight will end up costing me about $3.00, can’t beat that.

hi, love your recepices, i wonder what brand of balsamic vinager you use, i try 2 diferent spanish brand but i really dont like the flavour its to sour, not the same flavour that i taste when i go to the restaurants, so wich brand you recomend to try??!?! thanks
Ashley says
I know you posted ths comment a long time ago, but i wanted to suggest adding some brown sugar to recipes that you use balsamic vinegar in, you don’t need a whole lot, a Tbsp makes a big difference. But it will add some sweetness to counteract the sour 🙂

I so can’t wait to make this — sounds delicious! Question, though. Sometimes, like in your Basic Vinaigrette and your Greek Salad Dressing, you only say “vinegar” but don’t specify. What type of vinegar do you mean? Malt? Apple Cider? What?
