• Bring mixture to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and set aside.
• Grill chicken over medium coals until done.
• Slice into strips when cool and set aside until pasta is ready to assemble.
• Add olive oil to a heated skillet.
• Place prepared vegetable in the olive oil and saute until tender, about 15 mintues.
• While vegetables are cooking, boil water and cook pasta until tender.
• Drain pasta and place in a large bowl.

Steps:

• Mince garlic cloves in food processor or blender. Add 1/3 of the basil leaves to the processor, and chop until fine. Pour in 1/2 cup of olive oil, and continue to process until mixture turns light yellow with flecks of basil. Add the balsamic vinegar; process just until combined.
• Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top storage bag along with 1 tablespoon salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, and the contents of the food processor. Squeeze air out of bag and seal. Allow chicken to marinate for 2 hours, or up to overnight, turning occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Brown chicken in a large skillet over large heat, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a large baking dish, and place in the oven until cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken from oven, slice into 1/4 inch strips, and return to baking dish to absorb cooking juices. Keep warm.
• While chicken is baking, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil the pasta until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well. Stir the chicken and the juices from the baking dish into the hot pasta.
• Thinly slice the remaining basil leaves, and place in a large serving bowl along with the tomatoes. Stir in 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Top basil and tomatoes with the hot pasta, sauce, and chicken; toss to combine.

Steps:

• For the roasted vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the onions, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, carrots, fingerling potatoes and garlic with the oil, salt and pepper on a large jelly roll pan. Spread the vegetables in an even layer and roast, stirring once halfway through, until tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the garlic from the skins before serving.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the vegetable broth, oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Cook over low heat until the glaze is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Serve over the vegetables or as a dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Place veggies in a pan with water and vinegar. Bring to a boil and cover. Reduce heat to medium and cook 10 minutes. Remove lid and raise heat back up. Allow the water to boil away and the vinegar to reduce and glaze the veggies, about 5 to 7 minutes. When the vegetables are glazed, to a sweet, rich brown color add butter to the pan. Turn veggies to coat lightly with butter. Season with salt, pepper and serve. Garnish with parsley.
• For an optional glaze for the vegetables, substitute 1/4 melted butter and 1/4 cup honey for 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar. Follow method as listed.

Steps:

• Spray 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place carrots, potatoes and onion in slow cooker. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
• Season chicken thighs with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin side down in skillet. Cook chicken 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until browned on both sides. Transfer chicken to slow cooker.
• In small bowl, beat balsamic vinegar and honey with whisk. Pour over chicken in slow cooker. Place thyme sprigs around chicken. Cover; cook on High heat setting 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F) and vegetables are tender.
• Remove thyme sprigs, and transfer chicken and vegetables to serving platter; cover and keep warm. Pour cooking liquid into 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat 10 to 13 minutes or until the liquid is slightly thickened and reduced to about half. Drizzle over chicken and vegetables, and serve.

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Mix balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, water, and brown sugar together in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Add mushrooms and onion to the skillet, adding more oil as needed. Cook over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet and pour balsamic glaze on top. Reduce heat to low and let simmer gently until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.
