Wow this was really delicious! The balsamic and broth thickened into a lovely sauce that was perfect with the chicken and mushrooms. I tossed the pasta in the sauce, then served it topped with the chicken and remaining sauce. Simple to make and company-worthy - thanks for sharing a keeper!

This was easy to make and we loved the flavors of the sauce. I did find the chicken got a little dry so would not cut my chicken breast into strip next time, or I'd like to try this with thighs. I skipped flouring the chicken as I sometime find foods that have been coated then cooked in liquid can get slimy and I wanted to avoid that . I served this with brown rice with parmesan cheese and garlic, and saved all the delicious sauce for the chicken. Made for PRMRT

I anticipated that we would like this a lot, so I doubled the recipe, using chicken tenders. This was super easy to make and the result was a very flavorful and satisfying meal! There's lots of mushrooms (which I love) and the balsamic vinegar is a nice twist. I only wish my sauce had thickened up as much as some others did. I will definitely be making this again!

This is really yummy! And so easy to make too. I had a really large chicken breast, so used 8 oz of mushrooms. Perfection! Thanks for sharing! Made for Rookie tag game.
