Answers:
This is one that works for me---Boneless skinless chicken breasts (one per person)!. Saute them in a skillet until they're just browned, not done, transfer to a baking dish, top with fresh sliced mushrooms and cover tightly with foil, bake at 325-350 (I'm sorry I don't do recipes--I just eyeball!!)!. When the chicken juices run clear and the mushrooms are done, top with cheese (we like muenster or mozarella) and put back in the oven, uncovered, until the cheese is melty!. I serve it with baked potatoes pr pierogis, rolls and salad!. Dessert can be your b'friends favorite cake, pie, ice cream, etc!.!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
