Chicken with Port and Mushrooms

Sure, here’s a simple recipe for Chicken with Port and Mushrooms:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup port wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon flour (optional, for thickening)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add the port wine and chicken broth.
   • Bring to a simmer and let it reduce by about half, stirring occasionally.
4. Saute the Mushrooms:
   • In another pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are soft and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Combine and Serve:
   • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with a little water to make a slurry. Stir into the reduced port and chicken broth mixture, and cook until thickened slightly.
   • Add the cooked mushrooms to the skillet with the sauce and stir to combine.
   • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through and coated with the sauce.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the chicken with port and mushroom sauce hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
