Instructions:

Melt 2 tbs. Butter in a large non-stick skillet. Sauté mushrooms until tender and any liquid has evaporated; remove from pan; set aside. Melt remaining 2 tbs. Butter in same skillet. Sauté chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown and cooked through; remove from pan; set aside. (If chicken isn’t done when golden brown place in oven on 400 degrees until remaining recipe is finished)

Add onions to pan; sauté until tender. Add water, wine, and bouillon to pan. Bring to boil. Cook and stir until mixture is reduced by half. Add cream to pan. Cook and stir until slightly thickened. Return mushrooms to sauce and let cook together about 2 minutes on low heat.
