Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season 2 Tablespoons flour with salt and pepper and sprinkle it onto both sides of each chicken breast.
• Heat 1 Tablespoon butter or oil in a large, OVEN PROOF skillet, over medium-high heat.

Add mushrooms and garlic and cook until the mushrooms begin to release their juice, about 5 more minutes. Stir in remaining 1 Tablespoon flour over vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Slowly whisk in the red wine, soy sauce, rosemary, and balsamic vinegar. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened and is reduced in volume by 1/2, about 15 minutes. While sauce thickens, cook your pasta according to package directions.
• If additional flavor is needed, add salt and pepper to the sauce; amount used depends on your taste preferences.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Dredge chicken in mixture, turning to coat. Reserve remaining flour mixture. In a large Dutch oven or pot with tight-fitting lid on medium, heat 2 tsp oil. Working in batches, sear chicken, turning once, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add carrots and red onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Sprinkle in reserved flour mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high and add wine, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Add broth, thyme and remaining 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add pearl onions. Return chicken and any juices to pot. Cover and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Discard thyme, transfer chicken to a plate and cover. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook until sauce is reduced by half, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp at a time, whisking between additions. Divide chicken among plates and top with one-quarter of sauce and vegetables.
