Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Marinade
- ¾ cup balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- pepper, to taste
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter or oil
- 2 cups fresh white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- pepper, to taste
Topping
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- 12 spears asparagus
- 4 lices Provolone cheese
- 4 lices mozzarella cheese
- fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper and pound until about ½ inch thick.
- Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag. Combine marinade ingredients and pour in the bag. Squeeze all the air out, seal, and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
- About 20 minutes before the chicken is done marinating, heat butter or oil in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and saute for a couple of minutes.
- Add remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, or until sauce thickens and reduces to about ½-¼ of its original volume. When it is done, the sauce should be dark brown in color. Set aside.
- While the mushrooms simmer, cook the chicken. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place chicken in dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Set aside.
- While the chicken is baking, saute the asparagus spears in some butter or oil until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Once chicken and asparagus have cooked, layer on each chicken 1 slice provolone cheese, 3 cooked asparagus spears, then 1 slice mozzarella cheese.
- Set the oven to broil. Bake for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese melts and browns a little.
- Right before serving, spoon some of the sauce over each piece of chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes.

Notes
- It can be cheaper to buy cheese by the slice from your grocery store deli.
