Chicken and Peppers in Balsamic Vinegar Glaze

Submitted by vrvrvr

"This is pretty straight forward and delicious. Don't skimp on the peppers because they're awfully good! You can substitute green peppers for the yellor or red, but the dish won't be as sweet."

I diced my chicken stir fry style and doubled the sauce because we really like sauce, but made everything else to spec. This was excellent! Thank you!

Good and easy. I sauted onions with the peppers. Like a previous reviewer, I may add a little cayenne next time for some zip, but there will definitely be a next time!

This was good. I used spray butter to cook the chicken to cut down on calories. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Next time, I will add onions to add flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

This was super easy and tasty too! However, I found myself wanting more of the glaze. I think next time I will double or triple those ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
