Recipe Review!
Balsamic Chicken and Roasted Vegetables
adapted from Skinnytaste.com . See the original recipe here
This one is a new favorite. Its got all the things I love. Chicken, balsamic vinegar and roasted veggies. I even threw in the mushrooms (which I do not eat) for my husband!
I left a few things out of the original recipe (like sugar) and didn’t miss them. I also used dry instead of fresh herbs. If I had to do it again I would have used parchment paper on the pan for easier clean up.
Enjoy!
