Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms.
Step 1
To start, season your chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of black pepper for that extra flavor boost.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet, melt some Country Crock® Spread over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and let them brown for about six minutes, turning them once to achieve that beautiful golden color.
Step 4
After they’re nicely browned, carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside, allowing the skillet to retain all those delicious drippings.
Step 5
Next, it’s time to add some vibrant veggies! Toss in sliced mushrooms and chopped onion into the same skillet.
Step 6
Cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and fragrant—this should take about three minutes.
Step 7
The aroma will start to fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist! Now, pour in some balsamic vinegar and let it simmer for a minute.
Step 8
This will add a lovely tang to your dish.
Step 9
After that, stir in chicken broth and a spoonful of Dijon mustard, allowing the mixture to simmer for about four minutes.
Step 10
You’ll notice the sauce thickening up nicely, creating a rich and flavorful base.
Step 11
Once the sauce is ready, return the browned chicken to the skillet.
Step 12
Let it simmer uncovered for an additional five minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and infused with all those wonderful flavors.
Step 13
When everything is ready, serve the chicken topped with the savory mushroom sauce.
Step 14
For an extra treat, pair it with warm, crusty French bread to soak up every last drop of that delicious sauce.
Step 15
Enjoy your meal and the delightful company it brings!.
