Introduction

I don't like heavy sauces, but I love fresh basil! I think I finally got the balance right one this one. I don't like heavy sauces, but I love fresh basil! I think I finally got the balance right one this one.

Ingredients

    10 oz Chicken breast
    5 cups cooked Fettuccine
    1 tbsp butter (margarine is BAD, at least you can work off the butter, trans fats won't go away.)
    5 tbsp good quality balsamic vinegar
    minced fresh basil leaves to your taste (I like them, so I used around 8)
    fresh tomato to taste (i used 2 medium sized), diced
    5 oz fresh part skim mozzarella cheese, cubed
    5 jumbo black olives, minced

Directions

Heat up a skillet and melt the butter. Cooke the chicken to desired doneness (just kidding, make sure it's thoroughly cooked!!) Add balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan and save.

Add the the ingredients to fettuccine and toss with balsamic vinegar deglaze. Chill and eat, or serve right away. It doesn't lend well to re-heating, but it could be that I just don't like wilted basil.
