    I only had boneless chicken breasts on hand, so I adjusted the cooking time and it still turned out great! Very versatile recipe.

    The aroma while it was baking was incredible! My kids were practically drooling waiting for dinner.

    The balsamic glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the honey slightly. Perfect!

    Can this be cooked on the grill? I'd love to get a smoky flavor.
