Introduction

This is a dish I came up with on my quest for low sodium meals for my boyfriend. I was in the mood for something Italian... it turned out very moist and flavorful. Leftovers freeze well.

    I added a can of tomatoes and sliced mushrooms for the vegetables. Also added some homemade salt free chicken stock. Served it over Whole Wheat Penne Pasta with a little Parm. Cheese sprinkled on the top. One must like balsamic vinegar I think to enjoy this recipe - 3/4/11

    It was easy and I thought that the taste was okay but the veggies were mushy. I think if I made it again, I would add the veggies about an hour before serving, or I would use fresh veggies instead. - 5/11/13

    Delishious! It cooked in 1/2 time (full X would dry out the meat!) I turned it to warm, still was simmering an hour later so ate for lunch. I added a can of artichoke hearts, about 6 Kalamata olives cut up, 1 sm sweet potato diced, near the end diced broccoli & tomato . Serve w/brown rice YUMMO - 5/1/12

    This is going in my cookbook. Its super easy and has a lot of flavor. I added more vinegar so it wouldn't dry out--and both my husband and I were very pleased with how good it was! - 1/10/09

    Loved it, I prepared it a little differently. Cooked onions, garlic, until translusent. added veggies, browned chicken w/ 1/2 tsp olive oil. made up balsamic vinegar and spices, added veggies to chicken, poured over sauce, covered and let it cook 35 m inutes. If you want more liquid, just make more - 10/22/08
