Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 (4 oz) boneless chicken breast halves they should be 1/4 - 1/2” thick - you could also get thinly sliced chicken breasts
- 1 batch balsamic vinaigrette divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt to taste
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Place chicken breast halves in a large ziplock baggie or sealable tupperware container.
- Pour in half the balsamic vinaigrette.
- Marinate in the fridge for least a few hours, preferably overnight or 8-ish hours while you're at work.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
- Once hot, add in chicken.
- Cook on one side for 3 minutes, until browned, flip, then cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- To the hot pan, add in mushrooms, thyme, and salt, to taste. Cook, stirring regularly for 5 minutes.
- Add in the remaining dressing, bay leaf, butter, and chicken breasts.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, uncovered. The sauce should thicken *slightly* (it won’t much), the chicken should be cooked through, and the mushrooms should be tender.
- Taste and re-season, if necessary.
- Serve and enjoy!
