Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar

Adapted from Allrecipes

This is an old favorite that I hadn't made in quite some time.  I had forgotten how easy and pleasing it was.  You know that satisfied feeling you get after eating something delicious but still healthy?  This is one of those recipes. 

Ingredients:

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• ¾ lb fresh mushrooms sliced
• ½ medium onion, sliced
• 2 Tbs all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbs olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• 1 bay leaf
• ¼ tsp dried thyme
• Feta cheese, to taste

Directions:

• Rinse the mushrooms and pat dry.  Season the flour with salt and pepper and dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture.  Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat and sauté until nicely brown on one side (approx. 3 minutes). 
• Add the garlic.  Turn the chicken breasts and scatter mushroom and onion slices over them.  Continue frying, shaking the skillet and stirring the veggies.  Cook approx. 3 minutes, then add the vinegar, broth, bay leaf, and thyme.  Cover tightly and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Transfer the chicken to a warm serving platter and cover with foil.  Continue simmering for approx. 7 minutes.  Pour sauce over chicken and sprinkle with feta cheese.
