Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms: White button mushrooms are the most common type used in this dish, but you can also use cremini or shiitake mushrooms for a more robust flavor.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the mushrooms, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooking the chicken will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken and mushrooms will start to lose their flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This chicken with mushrooms in a light balsamic cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tender chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and creamy balsamic sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve this dish over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
