Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, honey, and chopped thyme. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the balsamic mushroom sauce over the chicken, and simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve the balsamic chicken with mushrooms over rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside roasted vegetables.
