How about something Italian, crated by an American chef?

Chicken Tetrazzini
(serves 6)
Ingredients
4 whole chicken breasts
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup butter plus 3 tablespoons
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, grated
1/2 pound linguine
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon each of pepper and nutmeg
2 cups chicken broth
1cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sherry
1 jar of pimentos, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cook chicken in water to cover for about 1 hour or until
tender. Cool in broth. Remove meat from bones and cut into
bite-size pieces. In a skillet, cook mushrooms in 1/4 cup
butter for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice and salt;
add onion. Cook pasta in boiling water until tender; drain.
Melt remaining butter; blend in flour, salt and pepper. Add
broth and heavy cream; cook stirring constantly, until thick
and smooth. Add sherry. Divide sauce into two parts. Add
the chicken to half of the sauce. In the other half, add
pasta, mushrooms, pimentos, and green pepper. In a large
shallow baking dish, add the pasta mixture; make a hole in
the center of the pasta and add the chicken mixture.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
