Expert Tips

An Italian ingredient, balsamic vinegar is made from white Trebbiano grape juice. This vinegar's dark color and pungent flavor develops while it ages in wooden barrels. Balsamic vinegar is fat free and imparts an intense, sweet flavor to food. Use it to jazz up low-fat recipes.

No balsamic vinegar? Yes, you can use other vinegars; just expect a different flavor.

I just made this for dinner and it was fabulous. I marinated the chicken in a Baja citrus marinade for about and hour and then grilled it on the BBQ. I added some portobello mushroom slices that brushed with some balsamic vinegar before putting on the grill as well. I threw in a side of warm cornbread, and I'm officially in heaven.
