Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F.Dry the chicken by patting with paper towels and if you haven't Pre-seasoned, sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the chicken in the flour to coat.
- In a large, ovenproof pan (12-inches will do), heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken in three batches (don't overcrowd the pan) and brown lightly for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
- Remove the browned thighs, set aside and continue with the rest until all the chicken is browned and set aside.
- Drain any excess fat from the pan and add the chopped pancetta and cook until crispy.
- If necessary, remove from the pan, set aside and drain the excess fat (without wiping the pan). Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the bacon back to the pan along with chopped onion and cook until soft, but not brown.
- Add the garlic and cook another minute.
- Add the mushrooms and saute until soft.
- Add the sherry. Raise the heat to high, bring to boil, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Cook another 2 minutes to cook down the alcohol.
- Add chicken stock and parsley. Return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Bake for 35 minutes (or until an instant-read thermometer is about 165 degrees), the chicken should be very tender.
- Remove the chicken and set aside. With a fork, mash together the butter and 3 tablespoons of flour and add it to the sauce.
- Return to the stove, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until the sauce is thickened slightly.
- Taste for seasoning and season to taste, put the chicken back in the sauce, and serve hot.

Steps:
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Generously salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken to the skillet. Then add 1/4 cup of sherry. Cook the chicken for 3 minutes per side, until browned. Then remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate while you work on the sauce.
- Melt another tablespoon of butter in the same skillet you just used to cook the chicken. Add the garlic and stir, scraping up any brown bits. After a minute add the mushrooms. Generously salt and pepper and toss until the mushrooms are evenly coated with butter. Cook for 2 minutes. Then add the remaining sherry. Let the mushrooms simmer for another 4 minutes. Then stir in the cream and thyme. Let the sauce reduce for 5 minutes then add the chicken back to the skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for 30 minutes so that the chicken can finish cooking. (Make sure you are using an oven-safe skillet!)
- After 30 minutes in the oven the chicken should be done - serve it with pasta or rice pilaf. Spoon the sauce over the top.

Cut each chicken breast half into thirds; place on flat surface on a piece of plastic wrap. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 tablespoon jerk spice mix over both sides of chicken. Cover chicken with another sheet of plastic wrap and pound to a 3/8-inch thickness. In large skillet over medium heat, place canola oil. Dredge chicken in flour, then in egg mix and again in flour, working with 3 or 4 pieces at a time. Add chicken to pan and cook about 3 minutes per side; transfer to baking sheet lined with foil. Place chicken in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes until fully cooked. Remove chicken to a platter and set aside.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Peel 4 ripe plantains and cut in 1/2 lengthwise. Place in large foil lined baking dish; pour over 1 cup evaporated milk and sprinkle with 1/2 cup brown sugar. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and dot with 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. Cover with foil and place in preheated oven. Bake about 30 minutes; remove and keep tented.

CHICKEN MEDALLIONS IN WHITE WINE REDUCTION
This was originally a recipe for Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Reduction that I converted for my daughter who didn't like beef at the time. I serve it with Rissoto and Grilled Asparagus and Carrots. It is a nice easy dinner for 2 on a work night when you don't have a lot of time or energy, but can be multiplied for dinner parties when you want the compliments also without expending a lot of time or energy.

- Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium high heat.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Tenderize the Chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or rolling pin will help to tenderize them and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use a Good Quality Sherry: The sherry is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality one. A dry sherry will work best.
- Cook the Chicken Medallions Over Medium Heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the chicken medallions, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Make the Sauce While the Chicken Cooks: While the chicken is cooking, you can make the sauce. This will help you save time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready when the chicken is done.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be most tender and juicy, and the sauce will be at its peak flavor.
