Balsamic Mushroom Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -6 boneless chicken breast halves, pounded into 1/4 inch thickness

Preparation

Dust the chicken lightly with flour and brown in 1 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat, about 2 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken, set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and saute the garlic cloves and mushrooms about 3 to 5 minutes, or until most of the moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated.

Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer another 2 to 4 minutes or until cooked through but not overdone.
