--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3      pounds        boneless skinless chicken breasts -- cut into
strips
  2      tablespoons   vegetable oil
  2      cans          cream of chicken soup
  1      8 oz. can     mushrooms -- drained
  1      10 oz.        package frozen peas -- thawed
  1                    onion -- chopped
  1                    bell pepper -- chopped
  3                    shallots -- chopped
  1      clove         garlic
  1      tablespoon    chopped fresh parsley
                       salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste
  1      stack         Ritz crackers -- crushed

    In a large frying pan, brown chicken breasts in the oil. When they
are done, remove them, and fry off the seasonings; onion, bell pepper,
shallots, garlic, and parsley. When the onions are clear, put the entire
mixture in a large casserole dish. Add the mushrooms and peas, and then
fold in the cream of chicken soup. Top with the crushed crackers and
bake at 350  for 1 hour.

OPTIONS:
1. Put entire recipe into a pie shell and use either the cracker topping
or another pie shell, inverting it out of its pan, as the top crust.
2. Use individual 6-inch tart shells to make several individual pot
pies.
3. Add other vegetables to this mixture, although you will need to steam
them first. Try these: carrots, broccoli, corn, cauliflower, potatoes:
or use up your leftover cooked veggies.
4. Use leftover cooked chicken or leftover holiday turkey. Freeze
potpies for future meals.
5. Serve over rice or bake with cooked pasta.
