How to Make Balsamic Chicken And Mushrooms

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them thoroughly in the marinade.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through and golden brown.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
  6. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until softened.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth (or white wine), remaining 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and thyme leaves.
  8. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened and the mushrooms are deeply browned.
  9. Serve the chicken topped with the delicious balsamic mushroom sauce.
