    Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, and cook in the hot butter, turning occasionally, for about 7 minutes or until chicken is browned on all sides. Season with dill weed, salt and pepper.
  • 2
    Add onion to skillet, and continue cooking and stirring until onion is clear, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 3
