Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a bowl, mix together the chicken, 1 tsp oil, garlic salt, dill, and parsley. 1 chicken breast , 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp dill, 1/2 tsp parsley
Next, place the mushrooms in a baking pan and lightly cover the mushrooms with the remaining teaspoon of oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt on both sides. 4 portobello mushrooms, 1 tsp olive oil
4) Fill each mushroom with the seasoned chicken.
Add the tomato slices to the mushrooms. Be sure to slide some pieces in between the chicken so they stick. 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Bake the mushrooms uncovered for 20-25 minutes in the oven.
During the last 5 minutes of baking add the balsamic vinegar and honey to a sauce pan and heat on high heat while mixing. Let the vinegar come to a simmer. Continue to stir the vinegar until it reduces and thickens to a glaze. 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup fresh basil

Counts: 5G 2R 2 teaspoons Per mushroom: 1 1/4G, 1/2R, 1/2 tsp Weight Watchers: 2 Blue Plan Points / 3 Green Plan Points / 2 Purple Plan Points per mushroomNote: If the glaze cools and thickens too much in the sauce pan you can save it by reheating and adding an additional 1-2 tsp of vinegar to the glaze. This will loosen it so that you can drizzle the glaze.
