For a different flair, substitute dry white wine for the chicken broth, then sprinkle on a few spoonfuls of chopped sun-dried tomatoes with the mushrooms.

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1 clove(s) garlic clove(s), crushed (medium)
1 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces
2 cup(s) mushroom(s), small, halved

1/3 cup(s) canned chicken broth

1/4 tsp dried thyme, crumbled

Instructions

  • In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil.

  • In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar, the mustard and garlic. Add chicken and turn to coat.
