- Number of Servings: 3
Ingredients
* 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts * salt and pepper to taste * 3/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced * 2 tablespoons olive oil * 6 cloves garlic * 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar * 3/4 cup chicken broth * 1 bay leaf * 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme * 1 tablespoon butter
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 chicken until it is nicely browned on one side (about 3 minutes).
