SUPERB on Jewelies and Kookas suggestion I added 1.5 cups sliced button mushrooms, in step 3 instead of drainiing the excess butter I sauted the mushrooms, removed them and put in the water, wine (Wolf Blass red label chardonnay), Port (Brown Brothers Reserve) and 1 teaspoon chicken stock powder and continued as per recipe. When I put the cream in I added the mushrooms. I used 6 x 150gm breasts and the cooking time was perfect for those, so some adjustment may be needed if cooking larger breasts. Served with mashed potatoe and steamed veg. and DH has requested WHEN I MAKE AGAIN to serve peas and corn too and not to forget the dinner rolls. Thank you to Jewelies and her grandmother for providing this recipe.
