It was just ok
Kathleen Deleon
Real good my family loved it!
Brittany Williams
I followed others suggestions and just put a hint of lemon juice and worchestshire sauce. I didn’t marinate overnight but definitely make twice the sauce because I could easily see how as written wouldn’t be enough. I may need to make a few twists to suit the family but it was great and filling as is.

i just did not enjoy the flavor of this marinade. in my mind, i imagined a butter, garlickly, lemony sauce flavor. this was overpoweringly worcestershire, the lemon was soured by the worcestershire…it just wasn’t appealing for us. kids and hubby gave a thumbs down 🙁
Karen Conner
This was ok if you like things that are really tangy. Could use more flavor as well. Maybe a little sugar to cut the acid from the wine, lemon, and worcestershire sauce.
Vincent Sellers
Delicious. Great flavor, and healthy too. Thank you for sharing. I served this dish with asparagus and whole wheat egg noodles with a side salad and avocado.
James Wheeler
Very tasty and forgiving dish to change and suite your personal taste. I only added a splash of Worcestershire sauce, substituted fresh flat leaf Italian parsley (about a handful) for the dried stuff, reduced lemon juice to about 1 tablespoon, increase white wine to ¾ of a cup, and added ¼ cup fresh grated parmesan cheese. I marinated the chicken about 2 hours. I reduced the marinade tossed in the spaghetti noodles and added my cooked diced chicken and tossed. At the very end I added about a ¼ cup of additional parm and served. Yumm!

This was easy and my kids loved it! My 4 year old even asked for seconds. Plus, one serving is only 4 points.
Bethany French
fantastic flavor!!! I doubled the sauce because i wanted extra for pasta or rice and it was still not enough…but delicious!

I had hoped to have a wonderful surprise for my boyfriend when he came home for work, but instead he wrinkled his nose and asked what the smell was. We ate a little bit, but ended up throwing the rest away, and I cooked something else.

I made this recipe the other night & it was really good. I made a few adjustments as suggested by some others, as follows: I double the sauce to serve over angel hair pasta (did not marinade chicken); added green pepper, onion and mushrooms – all sliced; For the Worcestershire sauce I used 2 T of soy sauce (didn’t have W sauce); For white wine I used 1/3 C chicken broth & 1/4 C cooking sherry; I cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and sautéed on stove-until almost cooked thru, then added onion, green pepper & mushroom. Cooked a few minutes then added the ingredients for the sauce and covered on med low for about 15 min. Made pasta and tossed with about 3 T butter. Served scampi w/ sauce over noodles. Chicken was really tender, and my girls (ages 7 & 11) liked it too! Will definitely make again! Thanks for the recipe.
Katherine Martinez
This wasn’t terrible, it just didn’t taste anything like chicken scampi. In fact, all I could taste was Worcestershire sauce! If I make this again I will definitely use a lot more wine and a lot less Worcestershire in the marinade.
Mr. Nathan Warren
Wow, the worsester sauce and the lemon juice was way to much. I would definitly cut it down like suggested. we might make it again cuz it wasnt a bad taste.
Patrick Russell
Made this for dinner tonight. I did however cut back on the amount of the balsalmic by half and I didn’t have any white wine so I used red wine. The next time I make this I might cut back some more on the balsalmic (not a big fan) a little more. I did add onion and garlic powder. I thought this was good over brown rice.
Laura Fuller
I marinated it all day and then put the chicken on the George Foreman. Instead of dirtying a pot, I microwaved the sauce for 3 minutes. I served it over quinoa and poured the sauce over both. It was edible, but the taste was too strong and overpowering. Not even pleasant enough to modify and try again.
Scott Reed
This was pretty good- definitely easy. I served over brown rice. Will make again- perfect meal to make in advance the night before.
Kendra Gonzales
Very tasty I marinated the chicken for 2 days, I wouldn’t change a thing! 🙂
Brian Jackson
Followed as recipe stated, and didn’t like at all! Chicken was dry, sauce had odd flavor to hubby and me. Will not make again.
Michael Mason
My kids and I liked this recipe a lot. The chicken came out very juicy and tender with a great flavor. I will be using this recipe in the near future.
Lisa Meyer
I love this recipe! This is my go to recipe for company and I get wonderful reviews from family! I have handed this recipe out to many people! My husband could eat this all the time! It has wonderful flavor and is an elegant dish with a glass of wine. I serve this with Uncle Ben’s wild rice and asparagus. Thank you so much for a fantastic recipe!

This is a really good recipe and a great way to stretch some boneless chicken breast. I made a few changes after reading the other reviews. I didn’t have time to marinate for more than 15 minutes but that was sufficient to flavor the sliced chicken breast. I reduced the Worcestershire Sauce to only about a teaspoon,added some(about 1/4 c) chicken stock and thickened the sauce with some butter. Put the chicken back into the sauce to warm it before tossing with the pasta. Served with some warm crusty bread and a green salad. Absolutely Delicious! It’s a real keeper!
