Remove chicken and set aside.

Add mushrooms, garlic and rosemary to skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until mushrooms are soft. Then add chicken broth and balsamic vinegar to skillet to deglaze the pan. Finally, add chicken and allow to simmer for 7-10 minutes on low heat. Turn off heat and fold in spinach until wilted.
