• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 (5 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 (10 ounce) package sliced cremini mushrooms
• 1/3 cup ruby port
• 1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions:

1. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
2. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until browned, about 4 minutes.
3. Stir together the port, broth, and flour in a small bowl until smooth. Pour into the skillet. Add the garlic and thyme; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 1 minute.
4. Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat with the sauce. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.

Outstanding recipe... I have the Weight Watcher book and we made this from the recipe. Don't let the "Weight Watcher" scare you. I use a lot of weight watcher recipes for my wife and this was very enjoyable and filling. The wine sauce was outstanding... I used Merlot in place of the Port. Highly recommended!
