Incredible!	Yummy! I would add a bit more vinegar next time as I like the flabors a bit more bold. But, it was very good!	Submitted by: WANDAMM1 (3/16/09)

Incredible!	I made this the other day with turkey breast instead of chicken and it was GREAT! I didn't have a grill available to me so I baked it for about 30 mins at 350.	Submitted by: SKIPPYNXC (1/21/09)

Incredible!	My hubby and I really, REALLy enjoyed this. Had it with steamed veggies and whole grain rice last night, then today I had it on a spinach salad with mandarin oranges, slivered almonds and spray Asian dressing. Yummy!	Submitted by: DEEJAYOK (1/6/09)

Incredible!	This was great! The chicken was very moist and flavorful. It would be great in a salad. We didn't have the balsamic or ground mustard, so I just used apple cider vinegar and yellow mustard respectively. Still very good!	Submitted by: AYMELEK (1/5/09)

Incredible!	My boyfriend and I loved this one! Thank you so much for sharing. I used this great red apple balsamic vinegar and it turned out wonderfully.	Submitted by: LILHLFPINT (12/7/08)

Incredible!	My wife did not care for this because she couldn't taste the balsamic. I, on the other hand, loved the taste that the ground mustard gave to this. One issue - the recipe doesn't include the water or the mustard. I assumed it was also supposed to be included with everything else and was correct.	Submitted by: BPATRIC (10/29/08)

Very Good	I didn't have all the ingredients, so I made a few adjustments, and it was great! My husband said it tastes better than any chicken he's ever had in restaurants! I plan to get the correct ingredients and make it again.	Submitted by: NORTY77 (7/13/08)

Very Good	Very yummy on the grill! I was in a hurry so only marinated it right at 30 minutes. I think it would be even better with a longer marinating time. But, definitely an easy, tasty grilled chicken.	Submitted by: SYELLICO (7/7/08)

Incredible!	Loved it! I did modify: - 1/4 cup olive oil - apple cider vinegar (didn't have balsamic) - only 1 tsp black pepper - about 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp poultry seasoning (I ran out!) Marinated for about 1.5 hours and grilled to 160 degrees (180 makes it tough and dry). It was incredibly good!	Submitted by: TAMOSQUITO (7/3/08)

Good	It was okay, but for some reason I did not realize how strong the soy sauce would be. A bit too much for me. Next time I'll half it.	Submitted by: ESPERANCE (3/12/08)

Incredible!	I do not have a grill, but liked the recipe and followed it exactly and instead of grilling, after marinade for about 2 hours, I baked the chicken with all of the marinade for about 40 minutes on 350. Don't know what that did to the nutritional value, but it was terrific. I will make this often!	Submitted by: SOLARDOVE (2/11/08)

Very Good	I made this last night. I only used half the olive oil and a little less than half the black pepper. I'm glad I cut back on the black pepper. My son liked the first few bites, but then decided it was too spicy for him. I thought it was perfect for me, and would probably not have liked it as is.	Submitted by: MUDDER91 (2/8/08)

Incredible!	I realize that the calorie counter counted all the oil in the marinade and that this doesn't have so many calories. This was a good meal and I used some of the chicken the next day in my salad.	Submitted by: SERENARENEE (2/3/08)

Very Good	I thought it was very good but I let it marinate too long (2.5 hours) and it turned out to thyme-y.	Submitted by: JULE83 (1/29/10)

	Great recipe! I too had all of the ingredients in my cupboard, already. I opted to bake the chicken in the marinade instead of grilling it..this allowed me to use the marinade as a dressing and serve the chicken over a tossed salad. Either way, love the recipe!	Submitted by: DIAHANNCP (10/21/09)
