Butter and whipping cream add a wonderful lushness to this savory pan
gravy, which features fresh morel and button mushrooms.


6 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces morel mushrooms
4 ounces button mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup whipping cream
4 1/2 cups hot cooked egg noodles
Fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs (optional)

1. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty
plastic wrap; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or
small heavy skillet. Heat 2 teaspoons butter in a large nonstick
skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and
pepper. Add 2 breast halves to pan, and cook for 3 minutes on each
side or until done. Repeat procedure twice with 4 teaspoons butter and
remaining chicken. Keep warm.

2. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in pan over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms to pan; sautT 5 minutes or until moisture evaporates,
stirring frequently. Remove mushroom mixture from pan. Add broth to
pan; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until
reduced to 1 cup (about 5 minutes). Return mushroom mixture to pan.
Stir in cream; cook 2 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring
occasionally.

3. Place 3/4 cup egg noodles on each of 6 plates. Cut each chicken
breast half into 1-inch-thick strips. Top each serving with 1 chicken
breast half and about 1/3 cup mushroom mixture. Garnish each serving
with parsley sprigs, if desired.
