Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup flour for dredging
5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup port wine
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup chicken stock
6 dried figs (stems removed)
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in the preheated skillet until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Pour the port, white wine, and chicken stock over the chicken, and scatter the figs around the skillet.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil and reduce heat to low, simmer until chicken is fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and cover with foil.
  • Bring the sauce in the skillet to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk in the cream and pour over the chicken to serve.
