                    This recipe was published in a free cookbook put out by Empire Kosher Poultry to celebrate its 50th anniversary. It is very easy to prepare and very good with rice. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                4 -6 boneless chicken breast halves, pounded into 1/4 inch thickness  |  
                                                1 lb portabella mushroom, sliced  |  
                                                flour, for dusting chicken  |  
                                                2 tablespoons olive oil  |  
                                                6 -8 cloves garlic, peeled  |  
                                                1/4 cup balsamic vinegar  |  
                                                3/4 cup chicken broth  |  
                                                1 bay leaf  |  
                                                2 tablespoons snipped fresh thyme  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Dust the chicken lightly with flour and brown in 1 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat, about 2 minutes on each side. 2. Remove the chicken, set aside. 3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and saute the garlic cloves and mushrooms about 3 to 5 minutes, or until most of the moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated. 4. Add the vinegar, broth, bay leaf and thyme; cook about 5 minutes over medium heat until reduced slightly. 5. Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer another 2 to 4 minutes or until cooked through but not overdone.                              |
