ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs chicken cutlets (6)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 cups chicken broth

- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt

directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour oil into large roasting pan. Add chicken, onion, and mushrooms, turning to coat with oil. Bake 5 minutes; turn chicken over and stir vegetables. Bake an additional 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in medium bowl, whisk flour into chicken broth. Add vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper, stirring well.

Thank you so much for finding and posting this! I lost my recipe box in a house fire and have been searching for YEARS to find this recipe just going off of the ingredients I could remember. I always got things that were similar but not quite the same. This makes me so unbelievably happy! Do you happen to have any of the other cards from that set?

We love this recipe. We had one of the timelife cards and it some how got misplaced. I looked everywhere and was so bummed until I found this!! I make this all the time. It's the only way to get my daughter to eat chicken other than chicken nuggets! Thank you for posting it!

I was born and raised for the most part in Georgia. Since 1997 I've lived in the beautiful mountains of western NC, where I spend way too much time at work and not nearly enough time camping! I have a partner of 15 years (Lee) and 3 kids--2 grown and 1 teenager still at home. Lee doesn't cook, but she's my cooking cheerleader, and she and my son will always at least try anything I make, no matter what.
Camping is one of my favorite things to do. Other favorite ways to spend my time are doing beadwork, knitting, and making homemade soap. I should also admit that I spend waaaay too much time on the internet, but the bright side of that is that it brought me to Zaar! I spend a ridiculous amount of time here, but I love every minute of it. It's also has helped cure me of my pathological cookbook buying. I used to call cookbooks with full-page glossy photos my food porn. ;-) Now, thanks to all the talented photographers here, I can get all the food porn I want!
I love to read recipes, which most of my friends think is just weird. I suspect, though, that a lot of you don't think it's weird at all! I love to cook, but only when I want to. I also love to entertain and wish I had time to do more of it. I love trying new recipes. I was a vegetarian (vegan, actually) for several years, and that's when I got hooked on trying so many different cuisines. I still love vegetarian foods, but I do eat some meat, fish, and dairy/eggs now. I still try to keep it healthy and eat as little processed food as possible, but I'm not totally strict about it. Sometimes I want some good old junk food--I just try to make it home-made junk, so at least I know what's in it!
My pet peeve is willful ignorance. Grrrr
