Directions
-
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Heat olive oil or cooking spray in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown on one side.
-
Flip the chicken and cook for another 5-6 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
-
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
-
Reduce heat to medium and add the chopped onion to the same skillet; sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
-
Add the finely chopped garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
-
Stir in the fresh rosemary leaves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
-
Add the balsamic vinegar and unsalted butter, stirring until the butter melts and the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
-
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them evenly in the balsamic mushroom sauce.
-
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
