** Recipe serves 2, I doubled it this summer when I had my in-laws over.

Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms

2 chicken breasts
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 cup small mushrooms
1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
¼ tsp dried thyme

Directions: Mix 2 tbsp of vinegar, the mustard and garlic. Add chicken and turn to coat. Transfer chicken and marinade to skillet. Sauté chicken 3 minutes on each side then transfer to grill and cook through. Sauté mushrooms in broth, thyme and remaining tablespoon of vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally until mushrooms are deep brown. Serve chicken topped with mushrooms.

WW Points: 3

The “grill” I am referring to is my Cuisinart Griddler. You don’t have to brave the cold to make this ;)

    I know Dijon sounds scary, I myself would never, ever eat Dijon mustard in a sandwich but this is delicious!!!

    Oh I must try it then! It really does look good! I'm guessing you serve it with vegetables?! I love balsamic vinegar!
    Weird combination but you should try it with Strawberries!

    I had made a salad last summer with balsamic, strawberries and sliced almonds and yea, it was good. Thanks for reminding me, I should really try that again! Of course I've missed strawberry season, oops! ;)

    I like to serve this chicken with some couscous (just for variety, we have brown rice all the time with stir-fry) with some peppers and onions sautéed and mixed in and maybe some asparagus that I coat with a tiny bit of olive oil, pepper and garlic powder and bake. My in-laws eat very healthy so the couscous photo and grilled peppers and corn on the cob pics are actually from that same dinner when I last made this chicken.
