Balsamic chicken with mushrooms and thyme recipe | This dish is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Golden brown chicken breasts, earthy mushrooms, a slightly sweet and tangy balsamic vinegar thyme sauce, and a sprinkling of fresh parsley. Yum. As an added bonus it feels like a restaurant style dish and comes together in under 25 minutes.
