Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless, chicken breast halves, about 1 ¼ pounds
Salt and freshly ground
pepper to taste
3/4 pound small to medium mushrooms
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, peeled
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or ¼ teaspoon dry
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • 1. If the chicken breasts are connected, separate the fillets and cut away any membranes or fat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 2. Rinse the mushrooms; drain and pat dry. 3. Season the flour with salt and pepper and dredge the chicken breasts in the mixture . Shake off the excess. 4. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts until nicely browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic cloves. 5. Turn the chicken pieces and scatter the mushrooms over them. Continue cooking, shaking the skillet and redistributing the mushrooms so that they cook evenly. Cook about 3 minutes and add the balsamic vinegar, broth, bay leaf and thyme. 6. Cover tightly and cook over medium-low heat 10 minutes. Turn the pieces occasionally as they cook. 7. Transfer the pieces to a warm serving flatter and cover with foil. Cook the sauce with the mush, rooms, uncovered, over medium heat about 7 minutes. Swirl in the butter. 8. Discard the bay leaf. Pour the mushrooms and sauce over the chicken and serve.
