Chicken with Balsamic Mushroom Sauce

plus Mashed Potatoes & Scallions

The tangy-savory balsamic mushroom sauce that cascades over juicy pork chops makes this meal something extra-special! (Okay, let’s not forget the buttery sour cream and scallion mashed potatoes, which might actually be why you’re here—no judgments!). Our chefs based this sauce on Italian agrodolce, which means “sour-sweet.” Their spin is beautifully balanced and lightly sweet with bright acidity, plus a touch of heat from red pepper jam. Pile those creamy potatoes on the side, add a sprinkle of scallion greens for a fresh crunch and pop of color, and you’re in for a sumptuously satisfying dinner adventure.

Instructions

Cook Potatoes
1

• Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. • Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. Return potatoes to pot; cover to keep warm.

Prep
2

• While potatoes cook, trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

Cook Pork
3

• Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan.

Swap in chicken or beef for pork; cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side, or cook beef to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side.

Mash Potatoes
4

• To pot with potatoes, add sour cream and ½ TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings); mash until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed.

Make Sauce
5

• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add mushrooms and scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Add vinegar, stock concentrate, ¼ cup water, 1 TBSP butter, and ½ tsp sugar (½ cup water, 2 TBSP butter, and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings); cook, stirring, until mushrooms are coated and sauce has thickened slightly, 1-2 minutes. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in more water 1 TBSP at a time.

Use pan used for chicken or beef here.

Finish & Serve
6

• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide pork and mashed potatoes between plates. Spoon mushroom sauce over pork and garnish with scallion greens. Serve.

Slice chicken or beef against the grain.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
