Ingredients

• ¼ cup water
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Mix balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, water, and brown sugar together in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add mushrooms and onion to the skillet, adding more oil as needed. Cook over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet and pour balsamic glaze on top. Reduce heat to low and let simmer gently until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.
