Shirley Ate It

I am so proud of myself! First ever dinner made by...hmmm, well that might work and why not's.
So as Luke was finishing it up he asked, "Hey, can we have that again?" and then he looks at me and goes "Oh! You probably couldn't make it again if you tried, huh."
So I figure, if I write it down, maybe I'll remember what I put in it and in what order... though I'm not sure it would matter too much.

(Keep in mind I cook in mega-quantities because of my family size)
First I cooked up two packages of chicken in a LARGE pan
then
added some oregano and red wine vinaigrette dressing until the chicken was coated in it.
Opened up the fridge and wondered what to go with the chicken.
I added a forth a stick of butter and a package of fresh, chopped mushrooms, chopped zucchini, chopped onion, two large tomatoes chopped, and a package of spinach. *okay, so I went a little chop happy*
Fearing I had added a lot more veggies than spice... I threw some salt, pepper, oregano, parsley, and basil into it.
Then I let it simmer until the juices had evaporated into a nice sauce.
And wah-lah!
Who knew it would work? When in doubt.. just add whatever you got. It probably would have gone well with some rice... but I didn't think of that until now.
