There is a lot of confusion about Balsamic Vinegar. When you see it in the grocery store you will notice many different price ranges.  The price is determined by the quality of the vinegar.  A top quality Balsamic has two distinct characteristics.  First has nothing added to it, only grape and secondly the amount of time aged.  

3-5 years mature

6-12 middle aged

12 years and up very old

Which should you buy?  anyways try to taste before buying and buy the one you like and can afford!  Regardless of the quality, it will go well with Creative Affair because we use only the best ingredients in our product!

Balsamic Chicken Pasta:

  • 2-3 tbs. balsamic vinegar

  • 450-500g pasta

  • 2 tsp. Creative Affair

  • 1/2 lb chicken, pork, or turkey

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

  • Salt & Pepper

  • *Hot chili pepper flakes  (optional)

1)      Dice meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.

2)      Put your water to boil for the pasta.

3)      Heat oil in a skillet over high heat, add meat and brown.

4)      Lower heat to medium add balsamic vinegar and cook for approx. 5-10 minutes covered.

5)      Add Creative Affair and stir, cover and continue to cook until done.

6)      Cook pasta as per directions on pasta package while meat is cooking.

7)      Drain water and add to cooked meat, toss to coat and serve immediately. 

Note:  

1)      When cooking string pasta; spaghetti, linguini, fettuccini etc. I find that you may need to add a small amount of the pasta water, it keeps it from sticking.

2)      If you decide to use pork tender loin it works well and is easy to dice.

3)      If you decide to use chicken I prefer thighs, even though more difficult to dice they are juicier and have more flavour, however chicken breast is fine too.

Take control of your meals.  Creative Affair allows you to maintain a healthy life style without compromising taste!
