So, grease a deep microwave dish with mayonnaise and put thinly sliced mushrooms on the bottom. Salt them and put pieces of chicken on top. Grease them with mayonnaise too, and put mashed potatoes as the last layer. Beat one or two eggs with two or three tablespoons of mayonnaise and pour this mixture into the mold. Using a knife or fork, pierce the casserole in several places and along the walls of the mold so that the filling spreads evenly. Place the mold in the microwave and cook the casserole at full power for about twenty minutes. When our potato casserole with mushrooms is ready, carefully turn the mold over onto a plate or dish and serve.
