Introduction
This is an awesome treat for a Friday night dinner with the family. We work hard all week long to watch what we eat and we usually want to splurge by the end of that week. Well, here is a good way to splurge a little but not go overboard. This is an awesome treat for a Friday night dinner with the family.

***Step Four*** Combining Ingredients
Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add in your chicken and saute until almost done. Add your onion and mushrooms and finish cooking the chicken until done and onions are translucent.
