Almost every French bistro serves a version of this
homey dish. Our recipe uses balsamic vinegar and fresh
rosemary for a wonderfully simple and slightly Italian
variation. Serve with steamed or boiled potatoes and a
salad of baby lettuce.
Remove all visible fat from chicken. Spray a large
nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Brown chicken
breasts over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side.
Transfer chicken to a plate. Add onion, garlic, and
mushrooms to same skillet. Reduce heat to low and
saute until onion is translucent but not browned,
about 3 minutes. Add vinegar, wine, pepper, salt, and
rosemary. Bring mixture to a simmer. Return chicken
pieces to skillet. Cover and simmer until chicken
breasts are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a heated serving platter. Cook
sauce over high heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup.
Remove from heat and whisk in butter. Pour sauce over
chicken; garnish with rosemary sprigs.
