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,

1/3 c Onion, chopped
1/8 ts Garlic salt
1/8 ts Pepper

* 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.
