12 oz of mushrooms
1 white or Vandalia sliced
½ can of black olives
1 pound of chicken
Angel hair pasta noodles
2 tbsp of lemon juice (or preference)
1 tbsp of olive oil

Slice the mushrooms, onion and black olives so they can be sautéed in the pan. Use at least half of the onion and can of olives (or more if you really like veggies). Add the lemon juice (or more for flavor) and olive oil to the skillet.

While the vegetables are cooking down on the stove, begin cooking the chicken breast (use a pound or less, depending on your preference).

While everything is cooking, boil water for the angle hair pasta noodles. When the chicken is cooked thoroughly, slice into small pieces and add to the vegetables with another dash of lemon juice.

Strain pasta and serve together for a tasty meal.
