The original recipe was "Pork Medallions on Live Well Network's Let's Dish. I used chicken as the basis. I also changed a few steps in the recipe for my own cooking style. I wasn't too sure about the recipe, but still wanted to try it. I'm so glad I did. It was such a surprise how delicious it was! The link for the original video is: http://livewellnetwork.com/Lets-Dish/episodes/Pork-Tenderloin-Medallions/7022442 (Note: The prep & cooking time is approximate; the serving size is for 4 large servings - two pieces of chicken each)
