Sometimes you only have a matinee and it’s the first opportunity you have to cook. So you make chicken cutlets with bruschetta and “mutz-a-dell” with balsamic glaze for your house mates. Also, it’s the first time since the start of the pandemic that I’ve been able to get my hands on Nonna Pia’s Balsamic Glaze. I’ve followed for years now and can officially say, I’m a fan!!! #therealchefvic #chickencutlets #bruschetta #mozzarella #balsamicglaze @nonnapias
