FOREVERMAMA'S CHICKEN OR TURKEY CUTLETS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR
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!

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 SPICY CHICKEN QUESADILLAS OR BURRITOS
Though this is a recipe for Quesadillas, I've turned them more often into burritos, following all the same ingredients, except rolling the tortilla's burrito-style. When made into quesadilla's, not only are they great for weeknight, weekend meals, appetizer, but they are also great for bringing them to a potluck. Just slice them like a pizza and place them on pretty serving platter and I'll guarantee that they'll be gone lickety split.

Steps:
- Combine chicken and taco seasoning mix in a heavy duty zip-top bag; toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours or overnight.
- Place chicken in a broiler pan or in a 15 x 10 x 11 inch jellyroll pan.
- Broil coated chicken 6 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially open) for 5 - 6 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
- In a bowl, combine chicken, cheese, picante sauce, and red peppers; stirring well. Set aside.
- Brush 1 side of each tortilla with melted butter; place 2 tortillas, buttered side down, on a cookie sheet. Top each tortilla with about 1 cup of chicken mixture, spreading to edges of tortilla. Top each with a tortilla, buttered side up.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Serve immediately.
- NOTE: If making these into burritos, mound chicken mixture 1/4 of the was down on tortilla's. Turn over short side of tortilla over chicken. Turn both right and left sides of tortilla about 1 inch inches Roll up cigar style, enveloping the chicken mixture tightly. Place on greased cookie sheet, seam-side down. Brush each burrito with melted butter. Bake until golden brown.
- Note # 2:If you can find Chi-Chi's taco seasoning mix, these will be To Die For. But unfortunately I can't find this seasoning anymore. They used to advertise right on the package that it didn't contain the "red stuff". I use other taco seasoning mixes, but none compare to the goodness that Chi-Chi's had. If you can find Chi-Chi's somewhere, use 2 pkg's because each pkg. was about 1 /2 - 3/4 ounces. If you do find it, let me know, because I'd love to know because I've been searching for a long time.

Tips:
- Use a meat mallet or rolling pin: Pounding the cutlets helps to tenderize them and makes them more evenly thick, ensuring they cook evenly.
- Season the cutlets generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is the key to the flavor of this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
- Cook the cutlets over medium heat: Cooking the cutlets over medium heat helps to prevent them from overcooking and drying out.
- Baste the cutlets with the balsamic vinegar mixture: Basting the cutlets with the balsamic vinegar mixture helps to keep them moist and flavorful.

This Forever Mama's Chicken or Turkey Cutlets with Balsamic Vinegar is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
