Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

4 ea Breasts, chicken, halves,
-- broiler/fryer, boned,
-- skinned
3 tb Pesto, prepared
1 c Broth, chicken
Spray, vegetable, cooking
1/4 c Vinegar, balsamic
1/2 c Mushrooms, shitake,
-- chopped *
1/3 c Onion, chopped
1/8 ts Garlic salt
1/8 ts Pepper
1/4 c Pepper, red, roasted,
-- julienned
3 tb Olives, black, sliced

* Plain mushrooms can be substituted for the rarer shitake
mushrooms.

On a hard surface with a meat mallet or similar flattening
utensil, pound the chicken to a 1/4-inch thickness.

Spread pesto on each side of the chicken breasts.

Spray a large non-stick frypan with vegetable cooking spray
(PAM, as an example) and heat quickly on high until pan is very hot.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken, searing 3 - 4
minutes or until lightly brown on both sides.

Remove the chicken, set aside.

To the drippings in the pan, add the broth, vinegar, mushrooms,
and onion. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to loosen the brown bits from
the bottom of the pan.

Add the browned chicken, turning to coat. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or
until chicken is fork tender.

Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with red pepper, olives,
and cilantro.
