How to Make Skillet Balsamic Chicken

There are only a few steps you need to follow in order to have this easy chicken dinner on the table in 30 minutes. Here’s what you do:

Season the chicken. Just season the chicken with salt and pepper…
Heat the oil and cook the chicken breasts. Just brown the chicken in your big skillet and then add the mushrooms and garlic. Push the mushrooms under the chicken a bit so the chicken sits on top.
Add the vinegar and spices. Add the balsamic vinegar, the chicken stock, the thyme and the Bay Leaf and let it cook for a few minutes covered and then a few minutes uncovered.
Add in butter. I always throw in a few pats of butter at the end to make the sauce silkay silkay.
Serve! Garnish it with parsley if you’re feeling fancy. I hope you love this skillet chicken recipe as much as I do!!
