I actually used this recipe to make pork cutlets instead of chicken (because that's what I had on hand and my kids couldn't stop praising my cooking skills! They're 10 and 5, and quite the food critics. They said this is the only way they want their pork from now on! Making it again tonight because it's so easy and definitely a new favorite around here!

Like many other reviewers, this took me more than 30 minutes- but now that I've done it once I'm sure I can reduce the time it takes. It's really just a matter of how it's written, because it's a pretty simple salad. We cooked the bacon and the chicken on the grill.
We're trying to make our meals more healthy so I used turkey bacon, added 1/2 of a thinly sliced pear, dried cranberries, grilled asparagus tips, and a little feta cheese. I also cut back on the oil in the dressing and added a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
Great salad!

This was not a 30 minute meal for me because it took me awhile to cook the bacon.

I loved the chicken but I didn't care for the salad part much. My husband loved both. I felt like there was way too much dressing - maybe I can just put less of the dressing into the salad if I make it again. And I'd probably leave out the radishes or raw mushrooms.

I definitely will make the chicken again to eat with rice or pasta and veggies.

... but it definitely took longer than 30 minutes to prepare! Also, I was not sure what "rounded spoonfuls" meant, so I went the tablespoon route.

I used different salad ingredients -- hard-boiled egg, parmesan cheese, cherry tomatoes -- and roasted some beets (400 degrees in foil for one hour. The beets were a nice contrast to the balsamic. The shallots in the dressing really were a great touch. Will definitely make again, with the beets.

I thought this was a pretty simple recipe. I added tomatoes to the salad since I felt it needed some extra color. The balasamic on the chicken carmalizes faster than when you normally cook chicken so watch out or it will get dark on you quickly. Other than that, good flavor and filling even though it's a salad.

Everything was delicious, but all the taste the same - balsamic vinegar. Next time I cook this - and there will
be a next tme - I will leave out the balsamic with the ravioli.
I have an 18 year that is sooooo picky and thought this chicken was phat!

This salad has some great flavors in it. If you have all your ingredients and cooking pans ready, you can make this meal in less than 30 minutes. We felt there needed to be something in the salad to balance the sour/tart taste of the balsamic vinegar. We tried dried cranberries, and it was great! The cranberries gave a sweetness as well as a chewy texture in contrast against the bacon. A big piece of crusty bread would be great, too!
