Chicken With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Mushrooms

chicken-sauce-ck-491535-l.jpg


This is my go-to recipe when I can't decide what I want to cook at the grocery store. It's great with some fresh bread dipped in olive oil / balsamic, a spicy red wine, and simple green salad.


Ingredients:

Boneless skinless chicken breast

Button mushrooms (about a fist fill per breast)

1 Jar sun-dried tomato (I really over do the proportion here b/c I LOVE sun-dried tomatoes. I use about one small jar for 2 ppl)

Balsamic Vinegar

Chicken broth

Oregano

Salt / Pepper


1. Dice up the button mushrooms in slices and the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller bite-size pieces.

2. In a skillet, sautee the mushrooms in a splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Once browned, set aside

3. In a separate, larger skillet - cook the chicken. (Best if you flatten the chicken before cooking with a mallet. Cook in olive oil with salt and pepper for about 7 min. a side or until golden and test the inside to make sure cooked through).

4. Combine mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and a splash of balsamic and chicken broth in your first skillet. Simmer until condensed. Season with oregano.

5. Pour your sauce / toppings on top of your chicken and mix together so the chicken takes the flavor of the oregano / balsamic reduction.

6. Serve!
