I thought this was good, but not great - I am giving it four stars since I think it has potential, it was quick and easy, and it is fairly healthy; but, it seemed to lack flavor and balance. I added 2 cloves of garlic, but it still seemed to be missing something. I think I will play with this recipe and perhaps add more garlic, more oregano, decrease the wine a little and add a little chicken broth, some basil, a tiny bit of sugar, and a little worcheshire sauce. I really like basamic vinegar, but I don't think you would care for this recipe if you're not a big fan of balsamic vingegar. The cooking time was perfect and the chicken was very tender. I ate this by itself with a side of steamed carrots, I think, with the changes I noted above, it would be great over angel hair pasta. Update: I ate this as leftovers and added fresh grated Parmesan, and it really improved the taste/balance.

Really tasty. I served it on rice and it was a hit.

This was only okay. I agree that there was nothing to balance the acidity, so there wasn't any real depth to the flavor. I added a bunch of Parmesan and a lot of salt and it was better. Maybe using chicken broth instead of the wine would help. This is a good base to start with, so I may play with it a little.

Sorry to rain on the parade but I am only rating this a 2. Everything smelled divine as it was cooking and the chicken was very moist but...we just didn't care for the sauce at all. There was nothing to balance out the acidity of the tomatos, wine and vinegar. Those who really enjoy balsamic vinegar might like this dish. It just wasn't a taste that my family was in to.

This was quite good but I thought it might be lacking a bit in flavour. But it was a quick and impressive dinner party dish.

This was really good, my husband loved it too! I followed some other reviews and added garlic. I also added more balsamic vinegar and some basil. Next time I'll add more wine to make it more saucy and I think I'll serve it over noodles. I can't wait to make this again!

This was a hit with my family and our dinner guests. The flavor is mild yet delicious. I followed the recipe as is and found plenty of liquid given off from the chicken itself. Will definately make this dish again!

This was ok, but not what i expected. I thought it needed something...more spices? I added garlic and chicken broth (the sauce got too thick), but I don't know if i will make again. Thanks though!

Easy and good. I used chicken breasts. I used red and white onion, little bit more wine and chicken broth. I am not a chicken fan but this had flavor. I will make again. 12/27/06 I made this again. It was great. This time I only used chicken broth, added an extra 1/2 T b. vinegar, used diced tomatoes and cooked the mushrooms in butter and b. vinegar before adding them to the other ingredients. Enjoy!
