Once again this week I found myself searching for a new recipe, something I could make with chicken. Chicken is always so versatile, it’s like a blank slate, but figuring out what to do can be tricky sometimes.  Today’s chicken recipe is Balsamic Chicken and Vegetables and it comes from Fitness Magazine. It’s simple, easy, and has lots of flavor. Enjoy!
