Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1 lb total (454 g total)
1 large red onion
8 oz / 225 g button mushrooms
2 cloves garlic

Instructions

1. Slice red onion and mushrooms; mince the garlic and pat the chicken breasts dry.
2. In a wide skillet or shallow pan over medium heat, brown the chicken breasts on both sides until golden, about 3–4 minutes per side.
3. Push chicken to one side, add the red onion and mushrooms to the pan, and cook until the onion softens and mushrooms release moisture, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and cook until fragrant, about 30–60 seconds.
5. Reduce heat to low, nestle the chicken into the vegetable mixture, cover, and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and tender, about 12–15 minutes.
6. Remove cover and let any excess liquid reduce slightly before serving spooned over the onion and mushrooms.
