Preparation

Step 1

Place flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper; dredge chicken in flour mixture. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add chicken and cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn chicken, then add garlic and mushrooms.

Continue cooking an additional 3 minutes, moving garlic and mushrooms around in skillet. Add chicken broth, vinegar, bay leaves, and thyme. Cover tightly, reduce heat to medium-low and cook about 10 minutes, turning chicken occasionally.

Transfer chicken to a serving platter and keep warm. Raise heat to medium, and cook pan juices, uncovered, an additional 7 minutes. Add butter, if desired; remove and discard bay leaves, stir mixture, then spoon over chicken.
