I Hate Mushroom Stew

I hate mushrooms, but this recipe actually makes them edible. Being diabetic, I was trying to develop recipes that make the foods I hate edible and came up with this one. Both my wife (who loves mushrooms) and I like this stew.

Original recipe makes 10 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, ground
1 large onion, diced

3/4 cup frozen peas
