CHICKEN FRESCO RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken in balsamic vinegar for about 30 minutes. (I used more than 1/2 ounce because I had more to marinate. Next time I will marinate a little longer. I also pounded my chicken breast.) Sauté chicken in enough olive oil to just keep the pan and chicken coated. Sauté chicken until cooked and plate. (I kept it covered in the pan on very low heat to keep it hot.) Place slices of tomato on top of the chicken breast. Combine white wine and lemon juice in a saucepan over low-medium heat until warm and almost a boil. Lower heat to low. Add heavy whipping cream and simmer for about 3 minutes to thicken sauce. Now add your cubed butter and whisk all together constantly. Once sauce is hot and a thicker consistency, pull from the stove and top over the plated chicken. Sprinkle fresh basil on top and serve.
