Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms

• porce: 4

Ingredience

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds)

2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste

8 ounces crimini mushrooms, stemmed and quartered (2 cups)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup chicken stock

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon salted butter, room temperature

Pokyny

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. When the oil is hot, sear the chicken breasts on both sides.

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the chicken until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165°F, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on its thickness. Place the chicken on a plate draped with aluminum foil to keep warm while preparing the sauce.

Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until the mushrooms begin to soften and develop a little color, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour the chicken stock and balsamic vinegar into the pan, scraping up the cooked bits with a wooden spoon. Let the liquid reduce by half, which should take about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the softened butter. Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary. Add the chicken back to the pan and turn to coat it with the sauce. Serve immediately.
