Steps:
- Rinse chicken or turkey breasts in a colander, let drain.
- Mix vinegar and honey until honey dissolves. Set aside.
- Season bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken or turkey breasts in the Italian seasoned bread crumbs, pressing well to make them adhere.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil until it is hot.
- 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.
- 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).
- Add the white wine and vermouth. Boil the mixture until sauce is reduced by half (more or less).
- Add reserved honey and vinegar mixture and cook until syrupy. Taste for seasoning.
- Place the cutlets back in the pan and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes more or until completely cooked. Garnish with parsley.
- A Little Bit of a Tip: If you prefer extra sauce, just increase the sauce ingredients. This sauce is scrumptious over rice.

FOREVERMAMA'S CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA
Not only are these cutlets good to serve any day of the week but in my opinion they are just as good to serve for company. I like them served with a simple saute of spinach, a side of rice or pasta and a nice glass of wine. Food just doesn't get any better!

Steps:
- With the smooth side of a meat mallet, pound chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap to a thickness of slightly over 1/4-inch.
- Cut each pounded breast in half in order to make regular size cutlets. If using large size chicken breasts, you may need to cut them into thirds.
- Place 4 fresh sage leaves on the under-side of each pounded chicken breast. Cover leaves with prosciutto (you may need to use more than one slice of prosciutto so as to fully cover breast). Pound very lightly with "toothy" side of meat mallet to help adhere sage leaves and prosciutto to breast (be careful not to tear through).
- Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess, being careful not to dislodge prosciutto and sage. Place chicken on a large platter or cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator for 10 - 30 minutes (this will help flour to glue itself to chicken resulting in a better fry).
- Meanwhile, chop remaining sage leaves for a total of 1 T, set aside.
- Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, add enough olive oil and heat through.
- Sauté chicken about 2 - 3 minutes per side or until golden and just cooked through. Remove chicken to a clean platter.
- Immediately top mozzarella on each cutlet while chicken is still hot. Sprinkle a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice on each cutlet. Cover immediately in order to help cheese melting process. (This works best if using a platter with a full coverage lid such as corning ware).
- Remove any excess olive oil in order to end up with at least 2 - 3 tablespoons oil remaining in skillet. Add marsala or port and white wine to hot skillet and let boil, scraping up browned bits, for 1 minute. Add stock to skillet and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup. Add chopped sage. Simmer 1 minute. Adjust seasoning with black pepper and salt if necessary (salt may not be needed depending on saltiness of chicken stock and prosciutto). Pour sauce carefully to the side edge of platter, being careful not to pour quickly over chicken so as to keep mozzarella in tact.
- NOTE: Most of the time I double and even triple the sauce.
- Fresh sage in this dish is a Must, the dry will not be the same and will result in something different.

Tips:
- For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken or turkey cutlets that are about 1/2-inch thick. If your cutlets are thicker, you can pound them out to the desired thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- To make the balsamic vinegar glaze, use a good-quality balsamic vinegar that is at least 5 years old. This will give the glaze a rich, complex flavor.
- If you don't have any balsamic vinegar on hand, you can substitute red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar. However, the flavor of the glaze will be slightly different.
- Be sure to cook the chicken or turkey cutlets over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will also allow them to cook evenly.
- Once the chicken or turkey cutlets are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep them juicy.
Conclusion:
Chicken or turkey cutlets with balsamic vinegar is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cutlets are cooked in a flavorful balsamic vinegar glaze and then served over a bed of rice or pasta. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table!
