Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Place the chicken breast in a plastic bag and pound thin with a mallet.

  2. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet.

  3. Dredge the chicken in flour and coat it on both sides. Add the chicken to the pan and sauté 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

  4. Melt the margarine in the pan. Add the mushrooms and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan and bring it to a boil to reduce the liquid.

Too vinegary. Won't make again.

I only get raves and requests for the future with this recipe. I’ve made it several times and I usually add any leftover veggies at an end with the chicken broth. I have served this over noodles instead of rice, one of the guests doesn’t eat rice.

Loved this! Added onion and a variety of peppers only because I had some that needed to be used up. All flavors went great together and I served it on a bed of brown rice. I used the balsamic vinegar, it has only natural sugar and no added sugars which does make a difference. I would ask for the website to change the balsamic vinegar ingredient if it is a problem regarding the glycemic index for diabetics as this is crucial and I'm really relying on the website to have healthy recipes without worries while consuming. I love the recipes. We enjoyed this with the apple crisp recipe ????
