In a large skillet add olive oil and cook the chicken on medium high heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until brown on each side and cooked until no longer pink in center.

Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.
