Five Course Dinner & Wine Pairing Recipe

Prepare the Bruschetta

Dice the Roma tomatoes and finely chop the basil and garlic. In a bowl, mix tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toast the bread and top with the mixture.

Make the Soup

In a large pot, combine chicken broth, diced carrots, celery, and chopped onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add egg noodles, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until noodles are tender.

Cook the Chicken

Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a skillet, melt butter and cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Prepare the Chocolate Mousse

In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Serve with fresh berries.

Serve the Wines

Pair the white wine with the appetizer and soup, and the red wine with the main course and dessert.
