Balsamic Vinegar Chicken & Noodles

Submitted by Liza Boo

"My Boyfriends favorite, and really easy to make. Left overs are just as good. I make this for a crowd with steamed carrots and a side salad for a complete healthy meal. NOTE: for those with Gluten Allergies or Celiac, this can work with GF noodles and draining them before adding them to the pot with the chicken, however I recommend half cooking the noodles before trying to add them to the chicken... otherwise the chicken gets tough by the time the noodles are cooked."

2. Peel and Crush Garlic and toss in pan with the Chicken and Marinade.

6. Bring Chicken back to a boil (if you need more liquid just add equal parts of Wine and Balsamic).

WOW, we really enjoyed this!!! The chicken turned out super moist and tender and very flavorful...perfect for the pasta and tomatoes. I topped it off with the fresh mozzarella. This is a perfect dish for family or guests. Thanks for sharing, Liz Bruer!

Thanks for a tasty recipe! I added some diced onion to the pot with the garlic. I also used the mozzarella, which was a nice touch.
