- Recipe notes:
- 1.
- I always keep cooked chicken on hand, either in the freezer or in the fridge, so I can add protein quickly to my meals.
- I make big batches in the slow cooker (its little more than throwing chicken breast into the slow cooker and letting it cook).
- If you want to start with raw chicken for this recipe, just cut it into cubes and fully cook it in the skillet after you cook the mushrooms.
- 2.
- I buy sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, and they usually come already julienne-cut.
