Too vinegary. Won't make again.

I only get raves and requests for the future with this recipe. I’ve made it several times and I usually add any leftover veggies at an end with the chicken broth. I have served this over noodles instead of rice, one of the guests doesn’t eat rice.

Loved this! Added onion and a variety of peppers only because I had some that needed to be used up. All flavors went great together and I served it on a bed of brown rice. I used the balsamic vinegar, it has only natural sugar and no added sugars which does make a difference. I would ask for the website to change the balsamic vinegar ingredient if it is a problem regarding the glycemic index for diabetics as this is crucial and I'm really relying on the website to have healthy recipes without worries while consuming. I love the recipes. We enjoyed this with the apple crisp recipe ????

what brand of balsamic vinegar do you recomend?

This meal was outstanding. Easy to make with simple ingredients. The texture and flavor were well balanced. We like mushrooms so we used 16 oz of baby bella crimini sliced in the food processor. This is a keeper.

I really thought all I would be able to taste was the vinegar. I had to taste the vinegar in the soup mix, wasn't all that good. Trying to keep an open mind I added the chicken to the mix. I was greatly surprised. No more vinegar taste and the chicken was moist, tender and tasted great. My hubby liked it and even asked the name of the recipe. I am not a chicken fan but I will make this again. Thanks.
