For a richer flavor, use an aged balsamic vinegar. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference for sweetness. Add a clove of minced garlic to the skillet along with the onions and mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor. A splash of dry red wine during the simmering process can add depth to the sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSeason the chicken pieces generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, water, and brown sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepHeat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and brown on all sides until cooked through. This should take approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)
03
StepAdd any sliced mushrooms and onions to the skillet, adding more olive oil if needed. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent and the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
04
StepReturn the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the balsamic glaze over the chicken and vegetables. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the chicken to warm through, about 3-4 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (Cook time: 3-4 minutes)
05
StepServe immediately over a bed of fluffy rice, quinoa, or your favorite grain. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for an added touch of elegance.
