Ingredients:

4 T. balsamic vinegar

1 1/2 T. soy sauce

1 T. brown sugar (packed)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. dried thyme

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (around 1.25 lbs total)

salt and pepper, to taste

1 T. olive oil

8 oz. mushrooms, halved

2 T. butter

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and thyme. Set aside.

2. Season chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add olive oil, swirl to coat surface. Add the chicken thighs and cook 8 min. on first side, then 5 min. on second side (or until cooked through). Transfer chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.

4. Add mushrooms to skillet and cook until slightly tender and browned (around 5-7 min.)

5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the reserved sauce mixture to skillet and stir, scraping bottom to release any accumulated fond. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has reduced by half (around 5 minutes).

6. Add the butter to skillet and stir to combine into the sauce. Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes to reheat the chicken. Serve and enjoy!
