Ingredients

1 prepared rotisserie chicken
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms

Add onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, 8–10 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring often, 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
