This is a great recipe, we eat it every week and a half or so. It's pretty flexible.

Ingredients:
2T oil, divided (we use olive oil)
4T balsalmic vinegar
2T Dijon mustard
2-3 cloves garlic, smooshed (more or less to taste)
1# chicken breasts, flattened
2C sliced shrooms (we usually use 3 or 4 cups ;) )
1/2C low sodium chicken broth
1/4t thyme (we use more)

Method:

Marinate flattened chicken breasts in dijon, 3T vinegar and garlic for 2+ hours. (The longer the better)

1) In nonstick skillet heat 1T oil. Add chicken & marinade. Saute until cooked through (usually about 10 minues, sometimes longer depending on thickness). Transfer to platter and keep warm.

2) Heat remaining 1T oil in skillet. Add shrooms & saute. Add broth, thyme, & remaining vinegar (*I usually add more vinegar, and you might want to have a little extra broth handy incase you want to add it if the pan dries out ;) ) Cook, stirring occaisionally until shrooms are deep brown.

3) Return chicken to pan to reheat and allow flavors to mingle :)

4 servings = 4pts each

We usually serve this over jasmine rice, which is 1 point per 1/4C. This is one of our favorite chicken dishes, DH loves it, and chicken dishes are not something he usually likes ;)

Oooh sounds yummy :hungry

It really REALLY is!!! :yes

Too bad I cant make it... I already went food shopping yesterday and dont have all the stuff I need to make that. :dunno It's ok there is always my next shopping trip. ;)

It took me...probably 6 months until I got to the point that I had alot of stuff like what is in this recipe stocked. I didn't used to have balsalmic vinegar...as a matter of fact, before ww I didn't even know what it was (now I love it!!). I had to change my concept of what "staples" were needed in my kitchen!

Oooh because of my mom I just love balsalmic vinegar lol... DH doesnt care to use it in foods as much as I do but he will eat it anywayz. I got him to eat a lot of stuff that my mom made for me that he never tried before. Slowly getting him to try new things. :giggle

I have tried this, it IS awesome!!!!

I started using vinegar when I went on the South Beach Diet a couple yrs ago. Before that it was just cooking oil.

I like making BLT's and cooking green bell peppers in the balsamic vinegar and putting that and avacado on the BLT. DH thought it was weird but after he tried it he told me to make him one. :giggle

lighthouse girl...you do WW? Is that how you've lost your weight? Is it really worth doing?

In order, the answers are 'Yes', 'partially', and 'absolutely'!

I started ww as part of a fitness challenge that I was in back in January. When it ended I was given extended membership to ww and continued to attend meetings and follow the points program. I still do it today, 8 months and almost 60 pounds later. I also joined the gym that I'd been working out at, and IMO I wouldn't have lost as much as quickly if I hadn't had an exersize regimen. WW is a WONDERFUL program that really teaches you, over time, how to eat better and the ww recipes we've tried TASTE better too!! I've got 3 cookbooks now and we have only been disappointed with one recipe ;) I'll continue WW at least until we leave here. I still have about another 45 pounds or so until I hit my ww "lifetime" goal, and I really think I'll continue going even after that. Once you make lifetime the meetings are free...so there's no reason NOT to go.

I just started an exercise program but I dont know 'how' to eat right...I want to lose 50-60lbs in the next 6months to year...would WW teach me how to shop and cook (healthy) for myself?

Yes, WW is all about a lifestyle change. That includes cooking differently, shopping differently, and READING LABELS (that's huge). Go to a meeting in your area, you can just drop in to a meeting at no charge if you just want to see what it's about. I caution you though, 50-60 pounds in 6 months may not be healthy for you. After the first couple of weeks at ww they recommend losing 1-2 pounds a week steadily as a healthy goal. Go check out a meeting, see if you like it.

I'll do that, thanks for your advice!

Anytime :) You can find a meeting in your area and see what days/times the meetings are held if you go the website.

Becca that sounds AWESOME and we have so much chicken that I may have to try it tomorrow since I have everything except the Thyme. May have some of that too but I don't use it often enough to remember lol

Sounds so good! We are going to the commissary tonight, so I think I will make this as one of our dishes for the next two weeks :D

Well, I hope you like it girls! It's one of those things we eat at least once every pay cycle!!

Dang I have enough chicken for this but that is it lol. I guess we ate all of the chicken :lmao Dh will be happy about that guess I better be checking out the Commissary on Tuesday :D
