Chicken in Yummy Sauce

Firstly, I will say that the actual title is Chicken in Red Wine Sauce but of course not everyone likes wine, does not like to cook with it and not allowed during the cleanse so I left it out from the title. Read on.. I will say that if your not on the cleanse and have nothing against wine please do yourself a favor and add Pinot Noir wine to this recipe, you're welcome.

Also, I apologize for not including photos for each step, the man was really hungry and I was sort of in a rush

Ingredients:
1 Large Onion peeled and sliced or diced however you prefer
8 oz Mushrooms of your choice 
Chicken Breast, trimmed of excess fat and cut into pieces 
1 cup chicken broth
Tinsy bit of minced garlic or 2 cloves of garlic, peeled
Salt and Pepper
1/2 cup of Pinot Noir (skip this if on the cleanse! let your guilty conscience be your guide) 
2 Bay Leaves
Tinsy bit of ground thyme and parsley or fresh if you have it

Take mushrooms and soak them in a bowl of hot water cover with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels works as well while you proceed with the rest of the recipe.

In a large deep skillet over medium heat add your cooking spray not too much! Add onions, at your preference you may take the mushrooms, rinse and slice them or add them straight out of the soak, whatever works for you, then add your chicken pieces. 
Your going to want to brown the chicken which can take up to 15minutes. 
About halfway through this time, add your garlic, and sprinkle salt and pepper 

Spoon and remove any excess fat and add the chicken broth, wine and herbs 
Adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently but steadily, cover and cook for about 20minutes or until chicken is tender and cooked through. 
Done and Done.

If you try this dish and do not fall crazy in love with it-
1. something is wrong with your taste buds 
        2. something went wrong in the cooking process 
        3.unlike Advocare Satisfaction is not guaranteed :)
