• Sprinkle chicken with a bit of salt and pepper and cook in a skillet over medium/high heat with a bit of butter/olive oil (or your preferred oil) until no longer pink in the center.

LOW-CARB CHEESY CHICKEN BROCCOLI AND "RICE" CASSEROLE

• Boil the mushrooms in a saute pan in the rest of the chicken broth until cooked and strain the mushrooms, saving the liquid.
