One of the things that makes me love cooking is the art of creation as I’m not creative in any other area. I read a few different recipes and take things from them to make it my own. Don’t be afraid to substitute or omit. Use what you got as long as it makes sense. This is why I don’t bake. To precise and too many rules.
For instance in this recipe it called for onions and I used shallots and it called for mozzarella and I used provolone and parmesan.
6 thinly sliced chicken breast
S&P
EVOO and 2 tablespoons of butter
A small onion- diced
2 cloves of garlic- minced
Can of diced tomatoes-14.5 oz
Basil – chopped
Balsamic glaze
Season 6 thinly sliced chicken breast with S&P then sauté in a pan lined with evoo and butter for 4-5 minutes per side until slightly brown.
