Creamed Chicken & Biscuits

Directions

Have the biscuits ready to slip into the oven to bake as you begin to prepare the chicken.

Cut the chicken into ½-inch-wide strips.

Slice the mushrooms, and if you are using shiitakes, discard the stems.

Heat the butter in a skillet; when it stops foaming, add the chicken and mushrooms and sauté over moderate heat for 4 minutes.

Add the peppers and cook, stirring, over high heat for 1 more minute.

Pour the cream into the skillet and cook until it has reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.

To serve, split 4 warm biscuits and divide them between 2 plates.

Cover them with the creamed chicken.
