Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (5 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 pound whole mushrooms, washed and quartered
- ½ small purple onion, sliced (2 oz)
Balsamic Dressing
- ¼ cup avocado or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon low carb sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 pinch each of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Gently pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet to even it out a little. (I place mine in a plastic bag to do this.) Place the chicken breasts in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Pour the tablespoon of oil over the chicken and oil both sides of each breast. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Wash the mushrooms and cut them into quarters. Thinly slice the onion. Place the mushrooms and onions in a small bowl. Measure the ingredients for the balsamic dressing in a small jar and shake to combine. Pour the dressing over the mushrooms and onions and toss to coat.
- Place the chicken in the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the pan around the chicken and cook for 20 - 30 minutes more.
Notes
I generally put the chicken in the oven while I make the balsamic dressing and cut the mushrooms and onions. It takes me roughly 10 minutes and then I add the mushrooms to the baking dish with the chicken.
