•Heat a flat-bottomed pan very hot, add a little bit of oil. Add the mushrooms and give it a good sear on both sides for about 3-5 minutes. You may need to do it in two batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan. Transfer in a bowl. Get the pan hot again, add oil and repeat the same procedure with the chicken.

•Serve hot.
