A 30 minute meal you will want to repeat over and over and over and over and… you get the idea. Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms, serve this over brown rice, quinoa, or another whole grain. Add a non-starchy vegetable like steamed broccoli or green beans to complete your meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon trans-fat free margarine
  • 10 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, less sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breast in a plastic bag and pound thin with a mallet.
  2. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet.
  3. Dredge the chicken in flour and coat it on both sides. Add the chicken to the pan and sauté 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Melt the margarine in the pan. Add the mushrooms and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan and bring it to a boil to reduce the liquid.
  5. Add the chicken broth to the pan and simmer 2 more minutes. Add the chicken breast back to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes.

Notes

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Herbs: If you have fresh thyme on hand, use it instead of dried thyme for an even more aromatic flavor.
  • Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the dish for extra nutrition and color.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
