Just a note to those who aren't fond of balsamic vinegar. Try adding some chicken stock in with the vinegar to equal the 1/2 cup measurement. It's a great way to cut down on the bite of the vinegarbut, still adds great flavor. So, those who might give up on this recipe try it this way and see what you think.

I made this for my beau last nite. Not sure if he would be a fan of the Balsamic flavor. I made it w/ 3 chicken breast and cut the balsamic amt in 1/2. I added mushrooms & topped off w/ some mozzarella cheese. I also added a touch of brown sugar to cut the tanginess of the vinegar and also to carmalize the onions & mushrooms. It was very tasty and I took the leftovers to work where they all wanted to recipe. I will definately make this again!

I made this in the crockpot. Very easy to make. I prepped everything the night before and the next morning just popped everything in the crockpot and turned on low, the chicken was even frozen. I did use only 1/4 C. of balsamic vinegar as recommended in other reviews and I will add garlic cloves instead of garlic salt next time. Also, I will use chicken on the bone instead of boneless/skinless chicken breast if I plan on making this in the crockpot. The boneless chicken turned out dry. Other than that, the taste was very good.
