How to Make Balsamic Chicken With Mushrooms 8 Weight Watchers Points
- In a medium bowl, marinate 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders in ½ cup balsamic vinaigrette for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
- While chicken marinates, clean and stem 8 oz cremini mushrooms. Cut them into quarters.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken tenders to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
- Add the quartered mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms are tender.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
