Chicken and Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine Sauce

This was a quick and easy week night meal. I added some chopped onion at Bryan’s request. I also reduced the olive oil, omitted the parmesan cheese and increased the pasta from 4 oz to 6 oz. The additional pasta made for a nice lunch for work the next day. A quite tasty meal that I look forward to making again!

6 oz uncooked medium whole wheat egg noodles
