Saute onions and garlic in 1/4 cup olive oil in large, heavy skillet until transluscent. Remove onions and garlic. Brown chicken in the oil. While chicken is browning, in another skillet saute mushrooms in olive oil. When chicken is browned, add onions and garlic, tomatos, tomato sauce, wine, salt, pepper, basil and mushrooms.
