Ingredients

CHICKEN

• 6 chicken breasts, skinned & boned
• 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaf
• salt
• fresh ground pepper

SAUCE

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 medium shallots
• 2 cups cream
• 6 ounces fresh mushrooms
• 1 cup frozen English peas
• salt
• fresh ground pepper

PASTA

• 1 (9 ounce) package fresh fettuccine

• 2 ounces fresh grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. 1

   Cut breasts in half and place side by side on a platter. Drizzle with the vinegar and oil. Cut basil leaves and sprinkle over the breasts; sprinkle salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

2. 2

   Grill the breasts or bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Set aside.

3. 3

   Peel and finely chop shallots. Saute in butter 1 minute. Add cream, salt and pepper to taste. Boil to reduce slightly to the consistency of a light sauce, just thick enough to coat a spoon. Add mushrooms and peas and cook another 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Cook pasta, drain and shake out excess water. Thinly slice chicken. Add to pasta and gently toss with sauce, along with cheese. Serve immediately.
