Chicken Madeira
ingredients
3 chicken breasts, trimmed and cut in half long ways to create 6 thin chicken breasts
Marinade
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt

Assembly
3 Tablespoons butter
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup beef broth
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 bunch asparagus
4 slices provolone cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese


instructions
Make sure chicken is trimmed and cut and then place in a ziplock bag. Then pour in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Then let marinade for at least 2 hours.
Then grab a skillet and add a little oil to the bottom of the skillet. Then add the butter and sauté the mushrooms for a few minutes. Then add the balsamic vinegar, beef broth, brown sugar, pepper and salt and reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Then in an oven preheated to 400 degrees add a pan that has been lightly greased with the chicken breasts laid flat in it. Cook for 20 minutes. (I do this at the same time that I am letting the sauce simmer bc it is the same amount of time) Then remove the chicken and lay a slice of provolone cheese on the chicken. Then a few asparagus. Then sprinkle or the mozzarel
la. Turn the oven on broil and pop the chicken into the oven and let cook for a few minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Remove from oven. Grab a plate and put down a bed of mashed potatoes. Then place a chicken breast on top of the mashed potatoes. Then spoon the mushroom sauce right on top! And serve!

This looks so good! Do you cook the asparagus first?
no you just trim and put them on!
This was DELICIOUS!! Definitely keeping it as a favorite! 5 stars!
Thank you for the post. It saves my days!
This recipe is delicious. The one change I made is I used 1/2 c. balsamic vinegar and 2 c. of beef broth for the gravy for a more subtle flavor. I also thickened the gravy with a little cornstarch. Thank you for sharing all your yummy recipes.
