In certain cases it's okay to only write only the ITEM down (in the case of Salt and Pepper, for instance)
PLEASE:

So Remember, NO "chopped", "diced", "pealed", "sliced", and NO Brand names unless needed.
Here are some good examples:

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Leave about 1 tablespoon of the oil in the skillet and add the onion and mushrooms.
Saute, stirring, until mushrooms are tender. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute longer.

Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Simmer until tender.
Add the tomatoes and chicken broth, then return the chicken to the pan.

Remove the cover and continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes longer.
Arrange the chicken on a platter, sprinkle with the chopped parsley, and serve with oven roasted or baked potatoes or noodles.
