There's something special about late summer.

The farmers markets are overflowing with sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, and ripe peaches. It's the season when the freshest ingredients don't need much—just a little inspiration.

This week's pairing celebrates everything we love about August around the table.

🌿 This Week's Pairing

🌽 Sweet Corn, Burrata & Basil Flatbread

Brush warm grilled flatbread with Garlic Parmesan EVOO, then layer on creamy burrata, sweet corn fresh from the cob, colorful cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil.

Finish with a light drizzle of Peach White Balsamic, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, and a few cracks of black pepper.

The result is fresh, savory, creamy, and just a little sweet—everything we love about late summer on the North Carolina coast.

"The best summer meals aren't complicated. Start with beautiful, fresh ingredients, finish with great olive oil and balsamic, and let the season do the talking."

Whether you're hosting friends on the porch, enjoying a quiet evening with a glass of wine, or looking for something beautiful to share, this flatbread is summer on a board.

Garlic Parmesan Grilled Chicken with Summer Corn & Tomato Orzo

There's something about late summer dinners that just feels special. Fresh corn is at its sweetest, tomatoes are bursting with flavor, and dinner is best enjoyed outside with family and friends.

This easy meal celebrates the season with juicy grilled chicken, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and a generous drizzle of our Garlic Parmesan Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Serves: 4
Ingredients
For the Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup Salty Olive Garlic Parmesan EVOO
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
For the Orzo
1½ cups dry orzo
2 ears fresh sweet corn, kernels removed (or 1½ cups frozen corn)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup Salty Olive Garlic Parmesan EVOO
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1️⃣ Toss the chicken with Garlic Parmesan EVOO, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 20–30 minutes.

2️⃣ Grill over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest before slicing.

3️⃣ Meanwhile, cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot.

4️⃣ Stir in the sweet corn while the orzo is still warm. Add the cherry tomatoes, Garlic Parmesan EVOO, Parmesan, basil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

5️⃣ Spoon the orzo into shallow bowls and top with sliced grilled chicken.

Finish with extra Parmesan, fresh basil, cracked pepper, and one last drizzle of Garlic Parmesan EVOO.

✨ Mrs. Salty's Tip: Add grilled zucchini or asparagus on the side and serve with warm crusty bread for an easy dinner that's perfect for lingering on the porch.
