Chicken with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

I needed a simple Chicken with Mushroom Sauce Recipe.  I had a more complicated recipe for chicken and mushrooms that included wine and shallots and several other ingredients that I made often.  However, this recipe was born of necessity,  needing to use what I had on hand instead of making a run for the store I had to make it a little simpler. It worked out deliciously and is much quicker to prepare- just 7 ingredients ( I had to cheat a bit on our 5 ingredients or less recipes) and it still has tons of flavor. It is a rich, comfort food that is good enough for company and easy enough to make after a long day of work-since it takes less than 30 minutes start to finish.

  Ingredients:

4 large chicken breasts

4 Tbsp. butter

1 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup milk

1 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar

12- oz. can mushroom pieces

1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

Melt 2 Tbsp. of butter in a large saucepan.

Brown chicken in butter over medium heat on each side for  5-6 minutes.

Remove chicken from pan, set aside.

 Add mushrooms, scrape all the bits up from bottom and sauté until mushrooms begin to brown.

Whisk in flour, then chicken stock, balsamic vinegar,  remaining butter and milk.

Simmer for 3-4 minutes on medium high heat, until thickened.

Return chicken to pan and allow to cook an additional 5 minutes.
