Directions

1. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add onions; boil 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; peel and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels.
3. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken in drippings; remove and keep warm. Add onions and mushrooms to drippings; saute until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
