How to Make Chicken Oporto

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet (or Dutch oven) over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic; cook for another 3-5 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
  3. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  6. Pour in the white Port wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and the reserved mushroom mixture.
  7. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and braise for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving over noodles, rice, or with french fries and a green salad.
