How to Make Balsamic Chicken With Mushrooms 8 Weight Watchers Points

  1. 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!).
  2. While chicken marinates, clean and stem 8 oz cremini mushrooms. Cut them into quarters.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the marinated chicken tenders to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
  5. Add the quartered mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms are tender.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
