This was an interesting dish, I liked it but thought it had an odd combination of flavors that went a little off track. I appreciated how quick it was to put together - I was on my own so cut it down to 2 thighs. I might try it again without the basil, and I'm still not sure about the capers, of course they keep things from getting too sweet. hmmmmm Made for Best of 2010 Tag

the flavor is wonderful. I would give it a 5 . if the dish did not make my whole house smell like balsamic vinegar all over the place. I will cut down the balsamic next time. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful dish! Thank you for sharing.

Excellent dish! I cut the recipe in half and used 1 chicken breast. We loved the tartness of the capers and vinegar and the little burst of sweetness with the brown sugar. I served it with a nice salad and recipe #409412 as side dishes. This is going in my best of 2010 cookbook. It's a must try recipe. Thanks for posting. :)
