1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
8 ounces white button mushrooms, (about 3 cups)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cooked chopped skinless, boneless chicken breast (1 breast half)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups baby spinach leaves, sliced into ribbons

EASY ITALIAN CHICKEN II RECIPE | ALLRECIPES
Easy recipe but the chicken was a little dry. An hour is way too long. I cooked 2 breasts (cut in half) for 35 minutes and it was plenty long. Def poke with holes when marinating and add mushrooms. I also added all the marinade to the chicken while it was cooking so that we would have some sauce to pour over the chicken.
