Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, sliced or pounded 1/2 inch thick
  • salt and pepper to season chicken
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cubed

Instruction

  • Season the raw chicken liberally with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large 10-inch skillet over medium high heat.
  • When skillet and oil are hot, place the chicken in the skillet evenly. Cook the chicken on one side for 5 minutes until browned, flip the chicken and cook for 3 more minutes.
  • Add the garlic and the mushrooms into the pan and stir to combine. Work the mushrooms under the chicken, so the chicken is sitting on top of the mushrooms.
  • Cook this for 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to soften. Add in the vinegar, broth, Bay leaf and thyme.
  • Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Then uncover the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
  • Lastly add in the butter and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • This easy chicken dinner recipe is delicious over rice, pasta or potatoes.
