Instead of chicken breast, you can use other parts of chicken or turkey meat.
It is best to consume it the same day. If you have any left over, keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can also pack this dish in the freezer and store it for the next 3 months.
If you don't like mushrooms, you can use drained artichokes (3 minutes in boiled water), or fresh asparagus instead.

Instead of brown mushrooms, you can also use white mushrooms.
