Chicken is kind of a boring protein. Okay, maybe not, maybe it’s just me? Chicken is never my first choice when I sit down at a restaurant and look at the menu. I remember this quote from Anthony Bourdain’s book,\u00a0Kitchen Confidential\u00a0<\/em>(GREAT book):\u00a0\u201cChicken is boring. Chefs see it as a menu item for people who don\u2019t know what they want to eat\u201d<\/strong>. When I read that, I remember saying out loud, “Yeah! He’s right!” Chicken is boring and safe.<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t have to be. The way I got over the “chicken is boring” lackluster feeling was experimenting with lots of different recipes. I’ve had some favorites, too; recipes that were savory and delicious and I made repeatedly. Here are just a few of my favorites:<\/p>\n

Braised Chicken and Spring Vegetables<\/a><\/h5>\n
BBQ Chicken Thighs<\/a><\/h5>\n
Garlic and Soy Chicken Thighs<\/a><\/h5>\n
Mexican Crockpot Chicken<\/a><\/h5>\n

I wish I had another recipe to add to the list, but this recipe was missing something. It wasn’t BAD, but it was just a tad boring. I’ve seen some other bloggers write about balsamic chicken before and loved it. I wonder what this recipe is lacking that I could add?\u00a0Unfortunately\u00a0 I don’t remember which blogs I read that raved about their balsamic chicken!<\/p>\n

I don’t know where I found this recipe. It was in my stack of printouts, with no website on it, so I can’t link to where I found it. But here it is:<\/p>\n
