1 lb cooked chicken, cubed (2 average-sized chicken breasts)
1 -2 garlic clove, peeled and minced
1/3 cup chopped green onion

The mushrooms were a bit too oily for my taste. I think next time I'll try grilling them instead of baking them.

I substituted ground turkey for the chicken and it turned out great! This is a versatile recipe that can be easily adapted to your liking.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the portabella mushrooms were delicious. I'll try it again with a different chicken cooking method.
