This is my first attempt at making a recipe listed off this site and I am pleasantly surprised! The lightly floured chicken browned up beautifully. My husband said it reminded him of Kung Pao chicken sort of Italian style. I let the sauce cook longer than 3 minutes and reduced it to a nice glaze. It was slightly sweet and tangy from the balsamic vinegar. Delicious! The only thing I would change is to cook the potatoes longer or perhaps blanch them prior to browning. I also used the unsalted sunflower seeds. That provided a nice little crunch. The dish was beautiful. I served it in a pasta bowl on the bed of arugula.
