How to Make Chicken Breasts Baked On Wild Mushrooms

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of chicken broth to a boil.
  2. Pour boiling broth over 8 ounces of wild mushrooms in a small bowl. Let stand for 2 hours.
  3. Thinly slice cleaned mushroom caps (about 8 ounces), discarding stems.
  4. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Gently sauté 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots or 2 cloves minced garlic for 5 minutes.
  5. Drain the liquid from the rehydrated wild mushrooms, reserving the liquid.
  6. Finely chop the rehydrated wild mushrooms. Add them and the 8 ounces of fresh sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the shallots. Sauté over medium heat for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  8. Add the reserved mushroom liquid (about 1/2 cup), 1/4 cup port wine, and 1/2 cup heavy cream to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  9. Pour the mushroom mixture into a shallow baking dish. Arrange 4 (6-ounce) chicken breast halves in a single layer on top of the mushrooms.
  10. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  11. Bake in the middle level of the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
