The mushroom man at the Strip District Firehouse farmer's market had "chicken of the woods" wild mushrooms. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try a new local food, so I bought a pound. I sauteed the chicken of the woods mushrooms with cooked butternut squash and crimini mushrooms in olive oil and butter. I served this mix over homemade pasta with fresh parsley. The chicken of the woods mushroom tastes a lot like like chicken. Unfortunately it tasted a little bit like dried out chicken breast, so if I buy it again I'll have to look up how to make it less dry. If you're looking for a healthy alternative to chicken, don't hesitate the try the "chicken of the woods" mushroom!
