     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 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 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

     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 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

     This was delicious!! I'm normally not a fan of grilled chicken but enjoyed this. I topped it with mozzarella and ate it over tomato slices. - 2/15/09

     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

     This chicken was awesome ! So easy and low fat. Next time I would use half the olive oil the recipe called for. - 9/30/08

     Lots of flavor! I wanted to use fresh herbs from the garden so I used chives instead of onion flakes and oregano instead of Italian seasoning and omitted the water and marinated it overnight. The whole family loved it! - 6/13/13

     We made this today for lunch. It was a sell out! We would recommend cutting down on the salt, and we did not include the water. - 5/27/13

     This was incredible! My husband and I had another couple over and I made this...they couldn't stop complimenting! I made this with mixed vegetables and wild rice pilaf. Absolutely amazing! - 3/21/09

     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. - 12/7/08

     Delicious! Soy sauce? What's the water for? - 2/23/13
  • LUV4CHOCOLATE
     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
  • MYTIME001
     Really good. I didn't have balsamic vinegar, so used red wine vinegar. An easy marinade to put together. Will make this one again. - 3/30/11

     Great! Easy to prepare (I already had all of the seasonings in my pantry) and very flavorful! - 3/9/09

     My husband said "I think this is the best chicken I've ever had!" It was delicious - 7/17/08
  • TAMOSQUITO
     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
  • ESPERANCE
     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
  • PEGGIE0203
     I used the marinade for a pork tenderloin and it was delicious! I'm looking forward to using it on chicken. Great recipe! - 6/30/15
