Notes
If you start with raw chicken, chop it into bite-sized pieces and sauté in a skillet with a Tbsp. of EVOO. Be careful not to overcook. You want it to stay juicy! Add Sliced Mushrooms and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink. Alfredo : For quick and easy, use a jar of sauce from your market.
