Chicken:
Preheat oven to 400F
Marinate chicken in wine with ½ nature’s seasoning, 1 garlic clove, lemon pepper, ½ thyme, ½ basil and ½ the oregano. When finished, combine remaining ingredients in a shallow dish. Coat the chicken pieces in the mixture. Pour onto greased baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
Mushrooms
Heat oil in a wok; add garlic and other ingredients and sauté until mushrooms are tender. Take out chicken pieces and add to chicken/bread crumb mixture. Toss around and return to oven.

Bring milk, dressing and spices to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and add bacon bits. Simmer for about 20 minutes. You can serve salad warm right away with baked chicken mixture or cool all ingredients and combine later.
