Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms

Yield: 4 servings * Overall Price: ~$10 * Calories:

Ingredients:
Served here with balsamic asparagus and grape tomato salad
2 tsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast
2 cups mushrooms
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 dried thyme, crumbled

Directions:
1. In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil
2. In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar, the mustard, and garlic. Add chicken and turn to coat.
3. Transfer chicken and marinade to skillet. Saute chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a platter and keep warm.
4. Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in skillet. Saute mushrooms for 1 minute. Add broth, thyme, and remaining tablespoon of vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are deep brown, about 2 minutes longer.
5. Serve chicken topped with mushrooms.

Thoughts:
This was pretty easy to make. The marinade on the chicken was really good. It would probably also taste great on pork chops. If you're in a hurry, I'd recommend this recipe because it takes only about 30 minutes tops!
