Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cups butter
  • 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon or spicy mustard we used Beer N Brat brand horseradish mustard
  • 3-4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 pounds chicken breast (4 4-ounce pieces, pressed thin*), uncooked
  • 2 cups mushrooms halved or sliced
  • 1 cups onion chopped
  • 2 green bell pepper membranes and seeds removed, chopped
  • 1 small hot pepper membranes and seeds removed, chopped (optional)
  • 1 medium head of cabbage
  • cups canned chicken broth
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 pounds whole wheat linguine

Instructions
 

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet.
  • In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar, mustard, and garlic.
  • Add chicken and turn to coat.
  • Transfer chicken and marinade to skillet.
  • Saute chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer chicken to a platter and keep warm.
  • Prepare linguine according to package directions.
  • Melt remaining teaspoon of butter in the same skillet.
  • Saute onions and peppers for a few minutes, until they begin to soften.
  • Add the cabbage and saute for one minute.
  • Add mushrooms and saute for an additional minute.
  • Add broth, thyme, and remaining 4 tablespoons of vinegar.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are deep brown, about 2 minutes.
  • To serve, place a small chicken breast (or a half of a breast) on the plate. Add an equal amount of whole wheat linguine. Top the linguine with veggies, and spoon some of the balsamic sauce (now called a reduction because you cooked some of the water out of it) over the chicken, noodles, and vegetables.

Notes

*If your chicken breasts are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. They cook quicker and turn out much juicier if they are thinner.
