  6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the dry sherry.

  8. Layer the cut-up chicken and sautéed mushrooms over the noodles.
  9. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken and mushrooms.
  10. In a small bowl, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and mix with the bread crumbs.
  11. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
