This Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic is a perfect dish to make with some of the balsamic vinegar that I picked up in Modena during my last trip to Italy. Modena is a city in the north of Italy which is famous for three things: Ferrari cars, Lamborghinis and balsamic vinegar. Now, I don’t care too much for fast cars, but I care a lot about balsamico!!! You won’t be surprised to hear that I made some room in my suitcase and brought a bottle home with me!
I make good use of that bottle of vinegar in this recipe which combines tender, juicy chicken breasts with mushrooms and balsamic vinegar to make a super rich sauce. You can serve this with sauté potatoes or pasta for a delicious main meal which will transport you straight to Italy!
To make my Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic, you will need the following ingredients:
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the flour with some salt and pepper and coat the chicken breasts all over.
Heat the oil in a large pan or skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan and cook until it is evenly browned on one side.
Add the garlic to the pan and turn the chicken breasts over.
Place the mushrooms in the pan over the chicken and continue to sauté the chicken for around 3 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally while cooking to move the mushrooms.
Pour in the vinegar and broth. Then add the thyme and bay leaf.
Cover the pan and simmer over medium low heat for 10 minutes. Stir and turn the chicken occasionally.
Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a warmed plate. Cover with foil and set aside.
Turn the heat up to medium high. Allow the sauce to simmer without a cover for around 7 minutes.
Just before serving, melt in the butter and remove the bay leaf.
Serve with pasta or sauteed potatoes. Place the chicken on plates and pour over the mushroom and balsamic sauce.
