Balsamic Chicken & Mushroom

Adapted from a recipe found on the ADA's Diabetes Food Hub

This simple chicken entree is budget-friendly and a perfect start to a healthy plate. Serve with a simple vegetable side like sauteed green beans or Brussels sprouts. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast - divided into four 4 oz portions
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Wondra flour
  • 1 tbsp salted butter
  • 10 oz sliced portobello mushrooms
  • 1/4 tsp tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Preparation: 

Place the chicken breast in a plastic bag and pound thin with a mallet.

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet.

Dredge the chicken in flour and coat it on both sides. Add the chicken to the pan and sauté 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Melt the butter in the pan. Add the mushrooms and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan and bring it to a boil to reduce the liquid.

Add the chicken broth to the pan and simmer 2 more minutes. Add the chicken breast back to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. 

Blessed be... and happy cooking!
