    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! The balsamic glaze is so flavorful, and the tomatoes add a nice touch of sweetness.

    My family loved this! Even my picky eaters devoured it. I served it with roasted asparagus and quinoa.

  • Geovanni Armstrong

    I like to add a sprinkle of fresh basil at the end for a pop of freshness.

  • Isobel Kutch

    Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will be dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked to the correct temperature.

  • Theron Schmeler

    This recipe is so versatile! I've also made it with bone-in chicken thighs, and it turned out great.

  • Erika Mcglynn

    I marinated the chicken overnight, and it was incredibly tender and flavorful. Definitely worth the extra time!

  • Paxton Kuhlman

    I didn't have cherry tomatoes on hand, so I used grape tomatoes instead. It worked out perfectly fine.

  • Luigi Torphy

    I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a little bit of heat. It was delicious!
