Directions

On a hard surface with a meat mallet or similar flattening utensil, pound the chicken to a ¼ inch thickness.

Spread pesto on each side of the chicken breasts.

Spray a large non-stick frypan with vegetable cooking spray (PAM, as an example) and heat quickly on high until pan is very hot.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken, searing 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly brown on both sides.

Remove the chicken, set aside.

To the drippings in the pan, add the broth, vinegar, mushrooms, and onion.

Cook for 1 minute, stirring to loosen the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Add the browned chicken, turning to coat.

Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken is fork tender.

Season with salt and pepper.

Garnish with red pepper, olives, and cilantro.
