- Pour one recipe's worth of Mushroom Essence through a fine strainer into a 4- to 5-qt pan; throw away the ginger. Put mushrooms in a shallow 10- to 11-inch oval casserole (about 2 1/2 qts). Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally into two thinner pcs. Add in chicken, 1/2 c. green onions, capers, sherry, soy sauce, and ginger to mushrooms; mix and spread level. Cover casserole tightly with foil.
- Bake chicken in a 375 degree oven till meat is no longer pink in center of thickest part (cut to test), about 15 min; keep hot.
- While chicken bakes, add in potatoes and tarragon to mushroom broth. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover and simmer till potatoes are soft sufficient to mash easily, about 15 min. Drain potatoes in a strainer over a bowl. Pour liquid back into pan and put potatoes in the bowl.
- Uncover chicken and drain juices into pan. Boil liquid over high heat till reduced to about 3/4 c., 4 to 5 min. In a small bowl, blend cornstarch with 1 Tbsp. water and stir into boiling liquid; stir till boiling again, and remove from heat. Turn oven to broil.
- Meanwhile, with a potato masher or possibly a mixer, mash potatoes till smooth, adding sufficient lowfat milk for desired texture. Push chicken and mushrooms toward center of casserole to leave a 1-inch space around the edge. Spoon potatoes (or possibly pipe through a pastry bag with a large plain or possibly star tip) into space. Pour sauce over chicken mix. Sprinkle potatoes with cheese.
- Broil about 4 inches from heat till cheese is very lightly browned, about 4 min. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c. green onions. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: Bake the chicken while the potatoes cook; keep it hot for a few min while you mash the potatoes and make the sauce.
