"This is a quick and wonderful meal great for weeknights and to serve for company. It is a very flavorful dish that imparts an almost fruity taste due to the combination of the wines and balsamic vinegar. When I make it, it reminds me of my father-in-law because out of all the dishes I made, this was one of his favorites. Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Rinse chicken or turkey breasts in a colander, let drain.

Step 2

Mix vinegar and honey until honey dissolves. Set aside.

Step 3

Season bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken or turkey breasts in the Italian seasoned bread crumbs, pressing well to make them adhere.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil until it is hot.

Step 5

Saute the chicken cutlets for 1 minute per side (note that the cutlets won't be cooked all the way through, because they will cook later in recipe). Transfer them to a platter.

Step 6

Add the remaining oil and garlic to the pan and cook just until garlic is golden (garlic burns easily, so be careful or it will impart a bitter taste).

Step 7

Add the white wine and vermouth. Boil the mixture until sauce is reduced by half (more or less).

Step 8

Add reserved honey and vinegar mixture and cook until syrupy. Taste for seasoning.

Step 9

Place the cutlets back in the pan and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes more or until completely cooked. Garnish with parsley.

Step 10

A Little Bit of a Tip: If you prefer extra sauce, just increase the sauce ingredients. This sauce is scrumptious over rice.

This made a good dinner for us. The chicken was so tender. The sauce was very good. We actually used the sauce on some eggplant we also cooked last night and it made it easy to eat.

This is so good! I only used 5 garlic cloves and skipped the vermouth but we loved every bite of this chicken. My cousin sent me some honey that he collected from his beehives and this was the perfect recipe to try it on -- so good! Thanks for sharing!

This is delicious (and really easy). I made one change-we don't care for the taste of vermouth, so I reversed the amounts of the white wine and vermouth (1/2 cup vermouth, 1 1/2 cups wine) and it was perfect. Will be making this again for sure.
