Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms is a favorite lunch recipe of mine.  It’s ready in about 20 minutes and is good enough for company.

This is a speedy recipe.  The chicken tastes like it’s been marinated for hours, but it just takes a quick dip before going into the pan and this dish takes under 15 minutes of cooking time.

Because the chicken has been pounded into thin cutlets beforehand, it is very tender after cooking.   And yes, it’s very low carb, about 4 grams per serving.  Enjoy! — Laura
