What a wonderfully flavorful chicken dish. Full of mushrooms, onions and garlic flavors with hints of thyme and balsamic vinegar. I think next time I will add spinach to this as well. Not only will it add nice color, but the spinach, garlic and balsamic go great together. The original recipe had this served with egg noodles, but I opted to serve this over mini penne pasta, (any pasta would suffice) I think it'd be great over rice too, white or brown. Enjoy! this recipe was adapted from centercutcook.com
