Chicken With Red Onions & Mushrooms

- Carla -'s Note:

This is a tasty recipe I've recently acquired through a Dutch supermarket magazine. It's simple enough for week night meals, yet will also work well when having your favorite friends over for a weekend dinner. Served best along side rice or homemade tagliatelle pasta with freshly baked French bread and a glass of light Bordeaux.
