Prep. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken. Rub the chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Roast. Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Rest. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
Saute. While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent. Add the mushrooms and garlic and saute until the mushrooms are golden brown.
