CHEF GORDY'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE
2 chicken breasts (filleted and sliced into strips)
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 large Portobello mushroom
5 sprigs of fresh thyme
garlic powder
onion powder
3 cloves fresh garlic
butter
milk
parsley
pepper
Mozzarella cheese
red bell pepper
green bell pepper
onion
flat egg noodles
white wine (Sauvignon Blanc)
Clean, de-fat and slice the chicken breasts into long strips, season with onion, garlic powders and black pepper with a coat of olive oil.
Saute with butter the finely chopped red, green bell peppers and garlic cloves until soft and carmelized. Remove from heat and reserve.
Boil enough water to cook the noodles (approx 3/4 cup) for 7.5 minutes on high (or until done). Slice lengthwise a Portobello Mushroom into strips. You can chop the stem and add to the pepper/onion saute for better flavor.
In a large casserole dish, add noodles and Cream of Mushroom soup with about 1/2 cup of milk. Add saute. Add finely chopped parsley and thyme leaves. Mix thoroughly.
Lay the raw chicken strips down across the top of the noodles to completely cover the dish with at least one layer. Lay the Portobello mushroom slices over the top to cover as much as possible. Slice wide slices of Mozzarella cheese and add on top the the mushrooms to cover as much as possible. Pour about one cup of wine over the top.
Preheat oven to 325F. Place casserole, uncovered, in the oven for approximately one hour or until the chicken reaches an internal temp of greater than 170F. (The Mozzarella should have a golden-brown crust).
As a rule, when the liquids boil, you should allow 5 minutes more cooktime to be ready to serve. Remove from the oven allow to cool somewhat and serve with garlic toasted French bread.
Makes about 4 servings.

For a fancy meal:
Fry the chicken until it is golden brown. While it is frying pour white wine continously onto it. Cook the mushrooms in a pot of boiling water. You could also add grated coconut to the water to flavour the muhrooms. Anyway back to the chicken. Take the chicken out when it is almost done and spread butter on the top and thensprinkle some paprika over the butter. Fry for a few more minutes until it is completely done.

Do you have capers too? Slice the chicken breast into strips and saute till light brown and cooked thoroughly. Set aside. Remove stem from mushrooms and carefully scrape brown residue from under cap leaving cap intact. Add sliced onions and garlic to pan and saute in 1/4 cup white wine and butter till just soft and glistening. Set aside moisture from pan. If you have cream cheese or even feta cheese, combine in bowl with onions and chicken. Stuff enough mixture into caps, sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs over top and bake at 350 degree oven for enough time to turn the cheese a light brown. While caps are baking, make a quick roux out of warm water and flour (liquid paste like in consistency) and add to saute pan. Stir over med heat making a semi thick sauce. You can add a few capers if you like, or season with tarragon. When the caps are done, drizzle the sauce over the caps and serve. The caps can be place over a nice risotto or fine angel hair pasta.

You could use the mushroom& wine sauce to stuff the chicken breast. Hope that might give you more ideas. Have you gone to foodnetwork. Thats where I go when I can't think of anything.

Sounds to me like if you add some alfredo sauce and pasta or rice, you have a meal!
