In Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove to plate. Add onions, garlic and mushrooms to pan; cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in broth, scraping up browned bits on bottom of pan; bring to boil. Stir in chicken; cover and adjust heat to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced.

Just before serving, stir in parsley and vinegar. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. Serve over Potato Parsnip Mash.

Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add parsnips; cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain well and return to saucepan; shake to dry slightly. Mash, adding a little butter, milk and salt and pepper to taste.
