- 1⁄2 lb mushroom, sliced

- 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/4-1/2 cup romano cheese
directions
- Salt and Pepper the chicken.
- I like to add a little homemade Essence to this, or paprika.
- Then dredge your chicken into the crumbs.
- Bake the chicken at 350* for about 15 minutes until you lose the pink.
- Of course, this will take longer if your chicken are larger.
- Cut the chicken diagonally in strips when done.
- Keep each piece relatively together as one and hot until you are ready with the sauce.
- Place the chicken on top of the pasta.
- The following sauce will cover all.
- Heat 2 Tblsp. oil in a large skillet where you will saute the mushrooms and the walnuts.
- Let the mushrooms reach a nice golden color.
- Add the cream and continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken approximately 5 min.
- Turn your heat down to warm.
- When the sauce slows and stops simmering, add pepper and cheeses.
- Stir until the sauce is smooth, but do not boil.
- Serve this sauce over your chicken and pasta.
- Don't forget your parsley sprig for that added touch.
- I like mint sprigs too.
- I've even made this with veal cutlets, and the sauce is very good with it.
- Very versatile-- can be elegant or just plain.
- Serve with a variety of vegies, I like a broccoli asst.
- ,and a pasta, or potato etc.

I am an avid cook and recipe collector. I've been cooking since I was 9 yrs. old. I am the first American from my family so I cook many different European dishes, everything from west to east. If I had a month just to do what I would like to do...I would like to cook that month with a famous chef. I also write a bulletin for a Service to Mankind organization. Since I collect recipes anywhere I can see them, I've been asked to share them with my readers. So this site is wonderful not just for me!
