Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts small, boneless and skinless
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2-3 garlic cloves pressed
- 12 ounces button mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves picked
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons prasley freshly chopped
Instructions
- First, season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside on a plate and cover to keep warm.
- To the same preheated skillet add the remaining oil.
- Add the onion, garlic and saute until golden, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the fresh thyme, balsamic and honey.
- Pour over the chicken broth and whisk to combine. Allow it to simmer until reduced by half, around 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk the almond milk and cornstarch until smooth.
- Pour the milk mixture into the pan and continuously whisk until the sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pan and cook for a few more minutes, until heated and bubbly.
- Season with chopped parsley and enjoy!
