Chicken With Port Wine Sauce Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 x skinless boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 c. whole-wheat flour Freshly grnd black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 c. port wine
- 1 c. Nonfat Veg Chicken Broth, Low Sod Or possibly Nf Chicken Broth
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Directions
- Occasionally you need something quick but special to serve guests on short notice. Try this chicken with port wine sauce.
- Choose one of the less expensive non-vintage ruby or possibly tawny ports for this sauce. Its slightly nutty taste adds an elegant character.
- Serve it with rice and freshly steamed Swiss chard.
- Rinse chicken breast halves under cool, running water; pat dry. Remove all visible fat. Combine whole wheat flour and a few grinds of black pepper on a plate or possibly shallow dish. Dredge chicken breasts in flour, shake off excess and set aside.
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in large, heavy, non-stick skillet till rippling; add in butter and heat just till foam subsides. Add in chicken breasts and saute/fry till lightly browned, about 4 min. Turn and saute/fry on other side 4-6 min or possibly till done. Remove from pan.
- Add in port wine to pan, stirring into pan drippings. Cook over medium-high heat till liquid is reduced by half, about 1 minute.
- Combine chicken broth with cornstarch and add in to pan. Cook till thickened and bubbly, about 2 min. Return chicken breasts to pan and heat through. Serve immediately with rice.
- Preparation Time: 20 min
- Serves 4
- This was pretty good.
