- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper

- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbs of butter and the oil. Add the chicken breasts and brown well on each side; remove from the pan.

Continue cooking mushrooms, stirring or tossing frequently until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms have browned. Set aside.
