Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 8 oz Portobello mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté sliced Portobello mushrooms until tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic to the skillet during the last minute of cooking, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and balsamic vinegar; stir and let simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Place seasoned chicken in the baking dish and pour the mushroom mixture over it evenly. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Let rest for five minutes before serving.
