Incredible Chicken Oporto

Submitted by Mia 3

"This is one of my favourite recipes. Its a Portuguese recipe, made of boneless chicken breasts. It's braised in a white Portuguese Port Wine, with mushrooms and cream. You can serve it over noddles, rice, or with french.fries, and a nice tossed green salad, have a good bottle of wine ready to goble this down with. I do hope you will enjoy it as much as I do"

Bom Dia Mia #3: Loved a recipe calling for white Port (very seldom find one). Flavor is wonderful but after removing the chicken from the sauce I boil the sauce down a little to thicken. This also gives it a deeper flavor. Thanks again for a great recipe and so easy.

This was REALLY good!! The port and the mushrooms gave the sauce a lovely flavor. My only complaint (and it's minor!) is that the sauce was a little bit thin--I might cut back a bit on the cream next time, or else cook the sauce a little longer after the chicken was done to reduce it.
