Equipment

  • 1 Tongs
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shallots thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup grape juice
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add shallots and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the grape juice and balsamic vinegar, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.
  • Add chicken broth and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
  • Stir in heavy cream, return chicken to the skillet, and simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

Serving

  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your choice of sides.

Storage

  • Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
