12 oz. skinless, boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces

Directions
Cook pasta, drain, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the black pepper on chicken, then cook for 5 minutes or until center of chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
Add remainder of the oil to skillet with garlic, mushrooms, and onions. Stir-fry until onions are just tender.
