While recipe planning a few weeks back I came across a recipe on a local recipe site for Balsamic Chicken with Angel Hair. I decided that that was a fine jumping off point but I knew I wanted to change the recipe up a bit and come up with my own concoction.
It turned out so well that my non-cook of a sister in law even asked for the recipe! Delicious!
Enjoy :)
