 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4                    Biscuits
    1/2   lb           Chicken breast meat
                       -- (boneless, skinless)
  3                    Button mushrooms
  3                    Shiitake mushrooms
                       -- OR other wild mushrooms
  1       tb           Butter
  1       tb           Red bell pepper
                       -- (finely chopped)
  1       tb           Green bell pepper
                       -- (finely chopped)
    1/2   tb           Jalapeno pepper
                       -- (finely chopped)
    3/4   c            Heavy cream
                       Salt
                       Freshly ground pepper

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

 Cut the chicken into 1/2-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 saute 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.
