  Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  3

  Cut up the chicken into bite size pieces.
• 
  4

  Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a skillet over medium heat, and then add the chicken.
• 
  5

  Cook until the chicken is cooked though, and no longer pink, about 6 – 8 minutes.
• 
  6

  Chef’s Note: While the chicken is cooking, sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
• 
  7

  Remove the chicken from the pan, and reserve.
• 
  8

  Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and oil to the pan.
•

  When the foaming subsides, add the chopped onion.

  Cook until the onions begin to soften, about 4 – 5 minutes.

  Add the mushrooms, and cook until they begin to soften, about 6 – 8 minutes.

  Chef’s Tip: If you wish, you can add the mushroom in with the onion, and cook them at the same time. That shaves about 8 minutes off the recipe time.

  Chef’s Note: If you want to make this dish with a few less calories, you could try substituting the cream, with half & half, or even regular milk. You could even try a can of coconut milk.
