4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 pounds
3/4 pound small to medium-size mushrooms
2 tablespoons flour
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth

  • Split each chicken breast lengthwise in half. Cut away and discard any thin membranes that may remain on the flesh.
  • Rinse the mushrooms; drain and pat dry.

  • Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
