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)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Step 5
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, honey, and chopped thyme. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Step 8
Serve the balsamic chicken with mushrooms over rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside roasted vegetables.
