Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. 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 a skillet over medium high heat and saute the chicken until it is nicely browned on one side (about 3 minutes).
- Add the garlic. Turn the chicken breasts and scatter the mushrooms over them. Continue frying, shaking the skillet and stirring the mushrooms. Cook for about 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. Set aside. Continue simmering the sauce, uncovered, over medium high heat for about 7 minutes. Swirl in the butter or margarine and discard the bay leaf. Pour this mushroom sauce mixture over the chicken and serve.

Tips:
- To make the most tender and juicy chicken tenders, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about 1 inch thick. Thinner tenders will cook too quickly and become dry.
- Buttermilk is the secret to extra-moist and flavorful chicken. Buttermilk helps to tenderize the chicken and gives it a slightly tangy flavor.
- To get a crispy coating on the chicken tenders, double-coat them in flour and panko breadcrumbs. The first coat of flour helps the breadcrumbs to adhere to the chicken. The second coat of breadcrumbs creates a crispy crust.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the chicken tenders so that they have plenty of room to spread out. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Cook the chicken tenders over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. If you cook them over too high heat, they will burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
- Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
Conclusion:
Chicken tenders with balsamic vinegar glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. The chicken tenders are juicy and flavorful, and the balsamic vinegar glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
