Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms


This recipe comes directly from the Weight Watcher's website.  It was super delicious, healthy, and I'd absolutely make it again.  I served it with cauliflower, which worked perfectly to soak up the extra sauce, and a salad.

Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms

2 tsp vegetable oil   
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar   
2 tsp Dijon mustard   
1 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), crushed   
1 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces   
2 cup(s) mushroom(s), small, halved   
1/3 cup(s) canned chicken broth   
1/4 tsp dried thyme, crumbled   

In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil.  In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar, the mustard and garlic. Add chicken and turn to coat.  Transfer chicken and marinade to skillet. Sauté chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a platter and keep warm.





Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in skillet. Sauté mushrooms for 1 minute. Add broth, thyme and remaining tablespoon of vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are deep brown, about 2 minutes longer.


Serve chicken topped with mushrooms.
