Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

“Ridiculously delicious and simple,” raves Shauna McNabb. “I throw everything in a zip-lock bag and marinate while I prep the rest of dinner before putting these on the grill. Super simple and delicious.”

“It was amazing,” according to Rachel Larcher. “Everybody loved it! I made it with Parmesan cheese and served it with a side of garlic pesto. I have no complaints, plus it was super easy with minimal clean up!”

“Amazing,” says one Allrecipes community member. “I prepped these and brought them to a friend's to grill out one night. They were a huge hit with everyone. Very simple, on-hand ingredients made them even better. The balsamic is almost caramelized on there, making it sweet and tangy.”
