Balsamic Chicken is always a big hit at dinner parties and especially successful for a romantic dinner for two. The neon-green parsley olive oil looks so impressive on a white plate. And the balsamic reduction adds an extra dimension. Try the reduction on vanilla ice cream and strawberries for extra bonus points with your date.
INGREDIENTS
1 c balsamic vinegar
8 T olive oil
1 T fresh parsley, chopped
1 lb chicken breast, 1-inch pieces
3 garlic cloves, crushed

Add mushrooms and chicken to plate. Serve with lemon.
