T’s “Talk Of The Town” Chicken
6 chicken breasts
½ pound of bacon (quality bacon or pancetta) or if you choose, Canadian bacon.
6 nice thick slices of swiss or provolone cheese
Small ramekin of aged balsamic vinegar
Small ramekin of melted butter with ½ teaspoon of zested lemon rind (mix these now to let flavors mix).
6 Basil leaves
Directions:
Grill the chicken (or if you have no bbq grill, then bake the chicken), baste with lemon butter mixture.
While the chicken is grilling, cook the bacon or pancetta.
Near the end of having the chicken done, drizzle a tiny amount of balsamic vinegar on the chicken, place a basil leaf on each of the breasts, put more butter sauce on now.
Place bacon or pancetta on the chicken Place the cheese on top of the bacon.
Drizzle balsamic vinegar on top of the melting cheese, serve with the creamy spinach below IMMEDIATELY!
Creamy Spinach
1 1/2 bags washed spinach
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
1 small shallot, chopped fine and peel the outside skin off
1¼ cup half & half 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Coarse salt and black pepper, to taste
Sort spinach leaves and remove small leaves & tough stems.
Directions:
Heat a deep skillet over medium to medium-low heat.
Add oil and butter.
When butter melts, add shallot and sauté for 2 or 3 minutes.
Add half & half and whis****il smooth.
Add cream cheese and whis****il melted.
Add nutmeg.
Place spinach into the pan in stages.
Turn spinach in sauce, and as it wilts, add more and more greens.
Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately…remember it’s spinach and you just wilted it!
