I do think the cooking time for the chicken and the mushrooms is all a bit too long or maybe my heat was too high. Next time I'll go by temperature instead of the repeated 5 minutes.
Everyone loved this dish - even my child who doesn't like mushrooms. She just took a piece of chicken that, while it had been cooked with them, didn't have any on it.
