Recipe Introduction


This is a great go-to recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. Great with mashed potatoes and a vegetable or side salad.





List of Ingredients



• 4 skinless, bone-in chicken breasts
  
• 4 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
  
• 1/2 tsp. salt
  
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  
• 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 8 oz. button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  
• 8 oz. ****ake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
  
• 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
  
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  
• For Garnishing: 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil or parsley
  






Instructions



1. Sprinkle chicken evenly with half each of the thyme, salt and pepper. In a large, non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and brown on both sides. Remove chicken to a large, oven-proof casserole dish.
   
2. To the oil remaining in the skillet, add garlic, button and ****ake mushrooms and the remaining thyme, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 8 minutes or until vegetables are softened and beginning to turn golden. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes and vinegar.
   
3. Pour vegetable mixture over chicken and roast in a 400° F. oven for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Sprinkle with basil.
   






Final Comments


Variations: Could easily be made with boneless, skin-on chicken breasts, as well. If you don't have grape tomatoes on hand, chunks of fresh tomato would also work or you could leave out the tomato completely and just go with a balsamic/mushroom sauce instead.
