Steps:
- Pound chicken breasts until they are 1/2 inch thick season with salt and pepper. Sear chicken in a hot skillet with two tablespoons of oil over medium high heat. Cook on each side for about 4 to 5 minutes or until completely cooked. Remove chicken breasts from heat, and let rest for several minutes before slicing. You may need to add an additional tablespoon of butter or two to the sauce pan to saute the mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms on medium high heat until they are browned. While mushrooms are browning sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Cook pasta according to instructions on the package. Johnny Carino's typically uses penne pasta, but I like to use a fettuccine pasta because I think it holds the sauce better. Prepare sauce by combining half and half and Gorgonzola in a saucepan heating through. The sauce should thicken slightly. Slice chicken into 1/4 inch slices. Add sauteed mushrooms to the sauce, and stir to combine well. Plate pasta by adding 1/4 of the pasta, 1/4 of the chicken slices. Drizzle with sauce, and top with chopped tomatoes and shredded Parmesan.
- If you need to reheat this dish, I recommend leaving all of this unassembled and reassemble just before serving again. If you do not combine the pasta sauce and pasta together while this is refrigerated the sauce won't soak into the pasta.
FRESH MOZZARELLA, TOMATO, THAI BASIL, AND GORGONZOLA PIADINE
From Marlena Spieler's cookbook, Grilled Cheese. She says of this recipe, "This pizza-like piadina is enticing indeed. Thai or Vietnamese basil gives the sandwich a slightly unusual twist; it tastes like the essence of the Mediterranean, and yet, the exotic aroma of Asia combines with the flavors of tomato and Gorgonzola, creating a completely different basil experience." The recipe calls for "4 piadine or medium flour tortillas (12-inch)"; I've requested "piadine" be added as an ingredient, until then, it states the flour tortillas as the primary ingredient. In place of Parmesan cheese, you may use another grating cheese such as Asiago or grana. Serve with a side salad of your choice.

WISCONSIN FRESH MOZZARELLA, TOMATO AND BASIL SALAD
This is a wonderful salad! Fresh mozzarella may be hard to find so regular may be substituted, although it won't be exactly the same. Fresh mozzarella is submerged in water to retain it's moisture content and preserve it's soft, slightly elastic texture. Best when only a few days old, it has a delicate, milky texture. This recipe is from the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.

FRESH MOZZARELLA & TOMATOES WITH ANCHOVY
My favorite summer salad! If you don't care for anchovy, chopped up some fresh basil. I prefer the salty, flavorful taste of anchovy with the best tomatoes and great quality mozzarella.
