Step 1
This is an excellent quick dish that I recommend keeping in mind as cold weather approaches. It really warms you up (in the sense of giving warmth to the body) and is very filling. Finely chop boiled chicken breast and clean mushrooms. For variations of this recipe, I can suggest making it with just mushrooms and Parmesan, and also replacing chicken breast with yellow onion — i.e. mushrooms with onion (and cheese, of course) — all variations are very tasty! I've only made it with button mushrooms; I haven't tried other mushrooms, but it should be delicious with wild ones, the aromatic kind....

Lightly toast/dry the bread in a dry skillet on both sides.

Step 3
Remove the bread from the pan and shake off the crumbs. Melt the butter in the same pan. Sauté the chopped fillet and mushrooms together with a sprig of thyme. The mixture should reduce in volume by 1/3 or 1/4 thanks to the mushrooms. They lose quite a bit of volume.

Step 4
Place the browned bread on a baking sheet, top with the mushroom mixture (I don't salt it, as I generally use little salt, and you also need to take into account the saltiness of the cheese). Sprinkle the prepared pieces with grated cheese.
