Just a simple restaurant style dish…that’s easy as can be! Trust me…I made it! You’ll food everyone with the elegance of this dish!

The Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
½ cup of balsamic vinegar
¼ cup of olive oil
Salt and pepper

The Method
Place balsamic vinegar in a sauce pan on a medium flame until it reduces into a thick syrup and by half. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a medium high flame allow an oven proof skillet to get hot. Add oil. When oil begins to waft add chicken breasts. Once in the pan season one side with salt and pepper. When golden brown, turn over, season the other side with salt and pepper and place into oven until cooked through. Glaze chicken as much as you’d like with the balsamic reduction.

The Ingredients
2 cups of frozen corn kernels
½ cup of heavy cream
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of chopped basil

Cut bacon into cubes and cook over medium heat. When done remove from heat leaving the drippings in the pan. Add corn and cook until heated through. Pour into a blender and mix with cream and butter – add a pinch of salt and pepper. Return to the pan and over a low heat fold in basil and reserved bacon.
