There I sat, staring at a pack of chicken. I roll my eyes, sigh, then run every one of my chicken "go-to's" through my head. By the time I run through them, I almost don't care anymore. Maybe I'll just slap these babies on the grill and pop open a bottle of BBQ sauce. Oh, come on! Snap out of it! I'm better than this! I can do this! (And quite frankly, since I've started blogging…my family's expectations are a bit…astronomical).
I rummage like a thief through the pantry, the fridge. Pulling things out of drawers and shelves. And this…is the result! I've got a simple recipe that looks like you fussed, but…you didn’t. Your family will be so impressed! You probably already have a lot of these things in your cabinets and fridge too. There are a lot of flavors in this dish, but they all compliment each other. I love the bits of sweetness from the currants and the sun dried tomatoes with the deep, tart flavor from the balsamic vinegar. I serve this with simple boiled baby potatoes that have been sautéed with arugula in a bit of olive oil. It doesn’t need anything more than that. So, don't let that boring package of chicken breasts intimidate you…because now, you've got big plans for those guys! —Caroline Hurley | Taste Love + Nourish
