    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.
