Method

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Vegetables

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Sauté the chopped onion until softened.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and start to brown.

Step 4: Prepare the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, The Australian Vinegar Co. White Balsamic Vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and dried thyme.

Step 5: Combine and Bake

  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the mushrooms and onions.
  • Pour the balsamic sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

Step 6: Serve

  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  • Serve the chicken hot with the mushrooms and balsamic sauce spooned over the top.
