Where Summer Lingers on the Plate
Caprese is less a recipe than a feeling — the particular ease of a summer table, unhurried and abundant. This dish carries that same spirit into something warmer and more sustaining. The chicken sears slowly, taking on color and patience in equal measure. Balsamic deepens as it cooks, becoming something richer and quieter than it started. The mozzarella melts softly into the whole. By the time the basil goes on, it feels less like finishing a dish and more like setting a small scene.
