Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup dark raisins
1 cup port wine
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
4 breasts of chicken
2 shallots, diced
1/4 pound fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup heavy cream, or evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish

Steps:

  • Soak the raisins in the port wine at least 1 hour or, preferably, overnight. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When hot, saute the chicken breasts on one side until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and transfer to an ovenproof dish. Bake for 10 minutes. In the meantime, in the saute pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the shallots and sweat them for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute them for 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and reduce until almost dry. Stir in the raisins and their soaking liquid. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the cream or evaporated milk, nutmeg, and cornstarch mixture. Cook for 2 more minutes, but do not bring to a boil. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce onto serving plates, set a chicken breast on top, and garnish with fresh herbs.

I made a few changes to this recipe and it turned out great! I used white wine instead of port, and I added some chopped walnuts to the sauce. It was a delicious and easy meal.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the sauce was too thin. I won't be making this again.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time next time.
