Balsamic & Garlic Chicken with Mushrooms

Why hello there!
I haven't posted a recipe in a while because I got a new "Our Best Bites" cook book for Christmas.
No matter how much I have just absolutely LOVE each recipe I've tried so far, I'd hate to share something that I bought - it just wouldn't feel right. They sell this amazing cook book on Amazon though and it's a great buy - you wouldn't regret it!

Last night I tried a new recipe - I typed into the search engine: garlic mushroom chicken and this is what I clicked on:



BALSAMIC & GARLIC CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS 
ADAPTED FROM: ALLRECIPES.COM

SERVES: 4;   PREP-TIME: 10 mins;   TOTAL TIME: 35 mins
----------------------------------------------------
INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts; thinned
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms; sliced
  • 1/2 onion; chopped
  • 3 Tbsp of butter
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme

------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:

1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Rinse the mushrooms and pat dry. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and saute the chick until it is nicely browned on one side (about 3 minutes).

2. Add the garlic. Turn the chicken breasts and scatter the chopped onion and mushrooms over them. Continue cooking, shaking the skillet and stirring the onions and 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.

3.  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 last tsp. butter and discard the bay leaf. 

4. Pour this mushroom sauce over the chicken and serve.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!!
