Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3⁄4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3⁄4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon margarine

Instructions

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Season flour with salt and pepper and dip the chicken pieces into the flour mixture.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat and saute the chicken until it is browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Add garlic. Turn chicken breasts and add mushrooms. Continue frying, shaking the skillet and stirring the mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes, then add the vinegar, broth, bay leaf and thyme. Cover tightly and simmer over medium low heat for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

Transfer the chicken to a warm serving platter and cover with foil. Set aside. Continue simmering the sauce, uncovered, over medium high heat for about 7 minutes. Swirl in the margarine and discard the bay leaf. Pour this mushroom sauce mixture over the chicken and serve.

I thoroughly enjoyed but i had a bit of a hard time getting the kids to finish their plates...

The chicken came out a bit slimy, I think next time I will just skip the flour.

I thought this was very good. It has a unique taste that makes it restaurant quality. I didn't have chicken stock so I used water instead.
