This was so yummy and easy! The only difference was I marinated the chicken in a plastic baggie between 30-60 min. and I added about 1/4 C bbq sauce to the balsalmic dressing marinade. Then I BBQed the chicken on the grill and did the veggies & bacon in the grill basket. Served it with rice pilaf and everybody loved it!
