Ingredients

Instructions

- Return skillet to the stove and add butter, onion and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until mushrooms are fragrant and seared and onions are softened, stirring a few times. Turn off heat.
- Add back cooked chicken, garlic and parsley. Stir chicken and mushrooms dish, and adjust any seasonings to taste, if you wish.

Notes
Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Reheat in a microwave or on the stove with a bit of water or olive oil until heated through.
Freeze: Chicken does freeze well but not the mushrooms because they contain over 90% of water. I do not recommend to freeze this mushroom chicken recipe.
