Yes yes yes! Really good restaruant quality flavor. Loved it. As usual I didn't have everything it called for, so here's what I did. I was generous with the butter and olive oil. I minced a half an onion (and threw in some minced garlic) and sauted it for a bit until real soft. Then I sauted chicken breast strips that I had cut in the oil/butter/onion mixture. Then pulled out the chicken when done and set it aside, covered. Then I added the balsamic to the pan (I already had some in the fridge that I reduced slightly with a little sugar) and let it simmer on medium-high heat for another 3 minutes or so. I didn't have the granules, so I put in about a quarter cup of chicken stock. Let that simmer for another minute or two. I seasoned it heavily with "rustic italian seasoning" (from Costco, a blend of basil, rosemary, oregano, garlic, salt, etc.). Then put in the half and half (didn't have cream). Let that simmer for 5 minutes. Then, in a separate small dish, I disolved about a tablespoon of flour with a little bit of the simmering sauce and two big spoonsful of hot water from the pasta I had boiling. Then I whisked that back into the simmering sauce. Then once it thickens up a bit, its done. I put the chicken back in the simmering sauce and voila! The sauce was so darn good as it was, I didn't want to put the cheese in the pan. So I let everyone put the parmesan on his or her own helping, as desired. We ate it with pasta and sauted zucchini. Absolutely delicous.

This is a very good and easy sauce. It reheats well too. Next time, I'll add more parm. cheese and some fresh garlic. For a fast meal, I made the "A Good Easy Garlic Chicken" in the pan first and then this sauce. I served the chicken and sauce over fettucine. It's a definite keeper!

Very Good indeed ! Left out the parmesan because I didn't have any and it turned out just fine. Next time I will try it with the Parmesan though.

This was really good! I used 1/2 cup cream and 1/2 cup skim milk in an attempt to cut down the fat. I also did not have enough of the cheese so I had to add a handful of shredded italian mix cheese. This tasted wonderful on top of baked chicken and grilled asparagus. I think this would be wonderful on pasta in place of an alfredo sauce.

Delicious! I had to use beef bouillon granules and cheddar cheese because it was all I had, and the sauce still turned out yummy. I can't wait to try try this again with the chicken bouillon and some of my other favorite cheeses.

This was awesome! I added a little extra balsalmic and chicken bouillon. Plus some milk and sour cream to make it a little creamier. I topped this on noodles with chicken and added peppers, green onions, celery, and tomatoes. Brilliant!

Great taste fast and easy. I had to fudge on the ingredients as this was a last minute quick sauce for pasta so I used what was on hand - one cup of Trader Giotto's grated Parmesan and Romano and added a handful of ready made bacon crumbles and already liquid soup stock. Mixed in the already cooked cold penne till it was hot. Served with a sprinkle of parsley. Hubby and I loved it.

This will most definitely be in our regular rotation; it's THAT delicious! I know it's a winner when the BF says "you can make this again!" I omitted the chicken granules as I don't eat meat and found that the sauce was wonderful without it. I also used a combination of fat free half and half and regular half and half with great results. No problem with the cheese clumping; adding it slowly prevented this. I think I'll add a little more balsamic vinegar next time. Thank you for posting this recipe!

Very good - almost 5 stars. It was a little heavy-handed on the chicken bouillion for me, so I cut it in half - I'm not really sure it needs it at all, may try without next time. I used onion powder instead of onion because I didn't feel like chopping, and made my sauce in the pan I browned my chicken breasts in. Added a little black pepper when served. Thanks! :)

Very nice flavor, although a bit too rich and thick. Next time I will try adding a cup of so of milk in addition to the cream.

I had saved a tablespoon of the glaze from Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze from a previous meal, and I was looking for a way to extend it for another meal. I stumbled on this, and am I ever happy with that find! I made it as written with the exception of using only one teaspoon of the bouillon. Served over a little angelhair pasta with chicken cooked with a little olive oil/balsamic mixture, this was superb. I saved the shaved parmesan for the finishing touches. I may dream about this yummy taste! Next time? Maybe mushrooms, since those flavors certainly would mix well. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

YUM! If you like balsamic and you like cream sauces this is the recipe for you! Balsamic vinegar in a cream sauce may seem weird but works great. I made this for my sister for her birthday with just sautéed mushrooms over penne and we couldn’t stop eating it! Unlike other reviewers who said they had trouble mixing in the cheese, I had no problem. Like any other sauce with cheese you just have to make sure to simmer first, and add cheese slowly while stirring constantly. Now stop reading reviews and make this recipe!

I made this sauce and added chicken breast with brocolli and red pepper served over elbow maccaroni. I would say this sauce lacks a bit of the zip that I thought it would have. I probably should have added some salt and pepper when preparing it.
