"This is from a cookbook club that I used to belong to years ago, I pulled out the binder, dusted it off, and looked for a chicken recipe. This is what I found, and it's delicous...my picky 3 year old even ate it!"

directions

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. Cover and remove from heat; set aside.
  • Rinse chicken breast halves under cold water; pat dry with paper towels. On a cutting board, cut each piece in half. Place between sheets of waxed paper; using a rolling pin, pound and roll chicken to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • In a bowl, combine flour, sage, salt and pepper. Dredge chicken pieces in the mixture, shaking off excess.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Cook chicken pieces, 4 or 5 at a time, until cooked through and lightly browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side; add additional oil and butter, if necessary. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Add balsamic vinegar to the skillet; increase heat to medium-high heat and cook, stirring, to loosen any browned bits from the bottom and sides of the skillet, about 1 minute.
  • Return chicken and pan juices to the skillet; reduce heat to low and turn medallions once or twice to baste them in the sauce.
  • Add cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables, tossing to combine; warm over low heat until heated through, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer pasta and vegetables to a platter. Arrange the chicken medallions on the platter next to the pasta and vegetables; garnish with fresh basil leaves and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.

  1. Not issuing an official rating, because I didn't follow the directions in the end and don't know how that would've turned out. Instead, I made roasted garlic mashed potatoes to serve it on, I didn't cut the chicken in half (though I did remove the tenders and cook them separately), and I mixed the veggies (shallots as well as red onion) in the balsamic sauce after coating the chicken with it. Normally, I would have doubled the balsamic, but I only had 1/4 c, so I used chicken broth for extra liquid. Next time, I'll make sure I have enough vinegar. I can't say I thought this was as good as my last recipe (4000 miles away in a box), but it'll do for now. Thanks!
     
  2. My family loved this recipe. I used about 1 Tbls Balsamic vinegar and added about 3/4 cup chicken broth. I thickened the sauce. Next time I will double the sauce mixture and pour it all over the pasta. I served Baked Corn Casserole #36673, it was outstanding, but it really did not go with this meal. Next time I will make this with grilled chicken.
     
  3. Oh Man ,Oh Man, this is so DELICIOUS. What a lovely, tasty way to make chicken. I used Balasmic vinegar, making it just like the recipe stated but cut the recipe down for 2. The sage and the Vinegar gives the chicken such a yummy flavor. The chicken would be very good just served with other vegetables to cut down on the carbs. I will be making this again & again for guest. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.

Ashton will be 8 in January, he's the smartest kid I know! Wrylie will be 6 in February and he's got more passion and caring in his little pinkie than most adults I know!!! And my very personal pride and joy Hennessey. She was born on the 27th of September 2007 and she's my little dollbaby. I love being at home with my children..love paying for ALL the stuff my 2nd grader brings home...soccer fees, and basketball fees, and book orders...I love cartin' my kindergartner around, and then coming home and cuddlin' with my little girl, and shopping for her favorite thing...shoes. My husband and I are as tight as 2 people can be, and I hate it when he leaves for work and can't wait until the clock strikes 4:30 because I know that means he's on his way home. Life is good. I couldn't ask for more.</p>
