Anyway, dinner is served...
Admittedly, I'm not a fan of radicchio, but in this case, it works. It's almost like a burrito. Personally, I find it a bit too bitter for my taste. Perhaps plain old lettuce might have worked better.

The sauce for the chicken was really good though. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice into a bowl and marinate the chicken for about 15 minutes. Then in a pan, melt some butter, and sear the chicken. Remove chicken when done, then add white wine and fresh basil to the pan, then finish off with some heavy cream and a little more butter. I couldn't believe how simple it was. The tangy-ness of the lemon chicken countered the aromatic basil and creamy taste of the sauce. In the original recipe it called for the marinade to be poured into the pan too, but I find that unnecessary. Chris didn't think so either. Anyway, it went well with this bottle of french wine someone brought over for New Years. *clink!*

Hmm... Now what do I do with that fresh oregano and sage?? :P
