1/4 lb. Mushrooms, sliced
1/2 c. Chopped Onion

1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper

You can substitute broccoli for peas.
For the chicken breasts, you can put them in skillet, cover with water and simmer until they are cooked. I sometimes do this a few hours before I make the dish to cut back on the preparation time at dinner.
