This ^^^ is what happens when you have a quarter-block of asiago cheese hanging out in your fridge and I sort of wish it would happen every single day of my life because those flavors? NO WORDS. Just joshin, you know me, I’ve always got something super profound to say. (insert eye-roll here) Okay but if we are being real here, this really might be my favorite dish of all time – or at least of all….this week – simply because it meets all of my ultimate weeknight dinner checklist items.
- easy easy easy.
- less than 30 minutes start to finish.
- bold, rich, indulgent flavors that make me feel like okay… I can totally make it to Friday now.
- less than 10 ingredients. (it only has seven you guys. just 7!!)
- B A C O N. Alright bacon doesn’t absolutely have to be involved in order to be a great weeknight dinner, but bonus points. Here are my hints for this winner winner chicken dinner. First, don’t stress about the basil. If you have some sitting in your fridge or on the windowsill above your kitchen sink, awesome, please throw some on top right before you serve it. But if you don’t, the dish is still amazing without it. Second, I won’t lie, asiago can be a slightly more expensive than parmesan and if you already have parmesan cheese in your fridge, use that, don’t rush out to the store for the asiago if you don’t have to. But if you’re fresh out of parmesan and want to take the flavor of this dish up an extra notch, go for the asiago – you will not regret that extra two dollars my friends.
