Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large, shallow baking dish with cooking spray.

• Coarsely grind the chicken and transfer to a large bowl. Reserve.
• In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Saute the onion until translucent. Add mushrooms and continue to cook until all the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Cool.
