    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! - 1/6/09

    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! - 2/11/08

    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. - 10/29/08

    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. - 1/21/09

    I made this last night and it was fabulous! Since I didn't have the onion flakes, I used freeze dried chives instead. Loved that I could use up spices I already had. Will definitely be making this again...it's a keeper! - 6/25/10

    Yummy! I would add a bit more vinegar next time as I like the flabors a bit more bold. But, it was very good! - 3/16/09

    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. - 3/12/08

    This was FANTASTIC! I didn't know what to do with the water, so I omitted it. I marinated this for about 4 hours. The entire family loved it. - 4/10/11

    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! - 1/5/09

    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. - 7/13/08

    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. - 7/7/08

    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! - 7/3/08
