Steps:

• 2. THE CHICKEN
• 3. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. Cut the chicken breast in half.
• 5. Chef's Note: You could pound the chicken breast between two pieces of wax paper; however, I didn't like the texture the pounding gave to the chicken.
• 6. Add some salt, pepper, and cayenne to the flour, and mix to combine.
• 7. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the flour (both sides).
• 8. Add the butter and olive oil, to a sauté pan, over medium heat.
• 9. After the foaming has subsided, give the pan a swirl to mix the oil and butter, and then add the chicken breasts.
• 10. Sauté until nice and golden, about 3 - 4 minutes per side.
• 11. Remove the chicken from the pan, and reserve.

• 14. Clean and slice the mushrooms in half.
• 15. Add the olive oil, and butter, and swirl until melted and incorporated.
• 16. Add the mushrooms, and sauté until they soften and begin to lose their liquid, about 7 - 10 minutes.
• 17. Add the garlic, and continue to sauté for an additional minute.

• 21. Cover and allow to lightly simmer for 15 minutes.

• 25. Continue to simmer and stir until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 15 minutes.
• 26. Chef's Note: As the sauce reduces it will thicken, so stop the reduction process when the sauce achieves the thickness you desire.

• 28. PLATE/PRESENT
• 29. Serve over pasta, or with a side of mash potatoes, or veggies. Enjoy.
• 30. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:

• 1. Cut boned breasts into strips. Marinate in egg and salt mixture for 1 hour.
• 2. Roll chicken in bread crumbs to coat. Brown lightly in butter in skillet; transfer chicken with melted butter remaining in skillet to a 1 and 1/2 qt casserole. Spread the sliced mushrooms over the chicken. Sprinkle cheese over the mushrooms. Pour broth over all.
• 3. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes or until cooked through. Pour fresh lemon juice over casserole just before serving.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
• Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.
