Hey Amy!

I call this dish fancy because when it is served, everyone thinks you have been working hard in the kitchen!  Don’t let the title fool or intimidate you.  It’s a very easy dish to make and it doesn’t require a lot of time.  I like it because it’s slightly different than the traditional chicken dishes.  I once was asked by the other one in the house “Can’t you make the chicken a different way?”  That’s when I started fooling around with different recipes and could answer “yes, I can!”

Ingredients:

2 boneless/skinless chicken breast
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. white wine
1/2 c. heavy crème
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
olive oil

Saute chicken breast in olive oil (just a splash) until golden brown and cooked through.  Plate the chicken and cover to keep warm.  Get rid of any excess oil from the pan and return to stove.  Add wine and balsamic vinegar, scraping the pan and reducing the liquid until thick and syrupy.  Add heavy crème and boil, while scraping the pan until the crème is thick and reduced by half.  Remove from heat, add mustard, and pour over chicken. Voila!

Fancy and simple chicken.  Obviously double it if you are having guests or feeding a family of four.  If you are having your first dinner party, this is a great recipe for a beginner.  It’s impressive and simple.  Good luck!
