How to Make Forevermama's Chicken Or Turkey Cutlets With Balsamic Vinegar

  1. Rinse 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken or turkey breasts and pat them dry.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey until the honey is completely dissolved. Set aside.
  3. Season 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Dredge the chicken or turkey breasts in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Sear the chicken cutlets for 1 minute per side to brown.
  7. Transfer the cutlets to a plate.
  8. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden (about 30 seconds).
  9. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and 1/4 cup dry vermouth to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half (about 5 minutes).
  10. Stir in the reserved honey-balsamic mixture and simmer until the sauce thickens to a syrupy consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
  11. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  12. Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  13. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
  14. Serve over rice or your favorite side dish.
