Step 1:
In a large saucepan, heat the oil on medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown on both sides. Remove and set aside. Add the bacon and fry until browned. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, oregano and capers. Saute until there is no water left.

Additional Notes
We recommend carefully measuring the capers. This is a highly flavorful addition and a little goes a long way, but if you use too much, it will blow out the sodium numbers.
