Cheers! I'm in England!

So, I'm sorry for never posting about the lemon pie. Long story short it was good, but no one ate it so I had to throw it out eventually. My bad!

I'm in England! A semester abroad and loving it, I cooked something for dinner tonight in an experimental state of mind and then suddenly thought, "Shit, I should blog this. I haven't done that in forever." I think I'm calling it Balsamic Honey Chicken, but I still need to tweak it a bit. There was something missing, and I don't know if it was a potato or red onion instead of white.

What you'll need:
1 Chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks.
3ish tsp of honey
3-4 tbsp of balsamic vinegar? I'm not sure, I just added what I thought looked good.
2 tbsp of butter (mine was salted. Sorry, don't kill me, I stole it from a flatmate)
1 small white onion diced into tiny bits.

Start by melting the butter, then add the onion. Let it sautee and get kind of translucent, and when it starts to brown move on to the next step. Add the vinegar, just enough to surround the onion I guess, then add in the honey. Let that reduce some and thicken a bit, and taste it to make sure you have it right. It should be kinda sweet, but not overpoweringly so. Add more vinegar if you want to take the sweet out, add honey to amp it up. When that's reduced some and is starting to thicken, add your chicken! Cook the chicken all the way through, and then put it all on a plate to eat.

I was going to make some rice to go with this, but I got lazy. I think that might have helped, or at least filled me up more. I've been really hungry lately. Feel free to try this out and if you go red onion and it's better, then I get a point! If you add a potato to the mix, also cut up and you cook it with the chicken, then I get a point also. If you do rice, I get 3 points, because I felt like making rice more valuable. If you do something else entirely then let me know so I can try it again!

ENJOY, and CHEERS!

PS: No pics, sorry, I decided to blog this after I started eating and I didn't want to get my camera from my room.
