I love light, healthy dishes! Especially meat served over rice with a yummy sauce. THIS recipe is very good and has a light, savory flavor. And it's super fast and easy! You can adjust the amount of mushrooms (1/2 lb to 3/4 lb if you don't love them). Serve on top of rice, noodles, or alongside roasted or mashed potatoes (or however you'd like). Serves 4. Enjoy!
Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil
7 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/3 c balsamic vinegar
1 c chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp butter
1. Heat oil in large skillet over med-high heat. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and add to oil; cook until lightly brown on one side, about 3 minutes.
2. Turn chicken breasts and stir in garlic and mushrooms. Cook for another 3 minutes, then add vinegar, broth, bay leaf, and thyme. Once sauce is boiling, cover and simmer over med-low heat for 10 minutes.
3. Remove chicken breasts and set aside, keeping them warm. Turn heat back up to med-high heat and stir in flour and butter; let simmer for 5-7 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and discard bay leaf. Pour this mushroom sauce over chicken breast.
