CHICKEN BREASTS BAKED ON A BED OF WILD MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour it over the dried mushrooms in a small bowl and let stand for 2 hours. Meanwhile, trim stems from the fresh mushrooms and save stems for another use, or discard. Wipe mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and slice thin. Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the shallots and saute gently for 5 minutes without browning. Meanwhile, drain the dried mushrooms, reserving the liquid, and chop them fine. Add dried mushrooms and sliced fresh mushrooms to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and saute over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 325°. Add reserved soaking liquid, the Port and heavy cream to the skillet with the mushrooms and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Spoon mushroom mixture into a shallow baking dish. Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer on top of the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cover the baking dish tightly with a piece of foil. Set dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until chicken breasts are done. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately. NOTE: I have prepared this dish ahead of time and refrigerated it. Then I just cooked it about 10-15 minutes longer to account for the chill from the refrigerator.
CHICKEN BREASTS BAKED ON WILD MUSHROOMS
Rich, creamy Port and mushroom sauce makes these chicken breasts special. A little more work than a weekday meal, but worth it. Great served with plain rice or simply flavored risotto (lemon or parmesan would be nice) to soak up the flavors. Adapted from Silver Palate Cookbook.

CHICKEN WITH WILD MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Place 1/2 cup flour in a bowl and dredge the chicken in the flour. In a large (12-inch) ovenproof pot such as Le Creuset, heat the oil. Add the chicken in three batches (don't crowd them!) and brown lightly over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a plate and continue until all the chicken is browned.
- Add the whole garlic cloves, mushrooms, and thyme to the pot and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sherry and cook for 1 minute, scraping up the brown bits. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the wine, chicken stock, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken (large pieces first), cover, and place in the middle of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (about 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
- Remove the chicken to a bowl and discard the thyme. With a fork, mash together the butter and 1/4 cup flour and add it to the sauce. Simmer, stirring constantly, over medium heat for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Season to taste (it should be highly seasoned), put the chicken back in the sauce, and serve hot.

This is a simple and tasty recipe for weekdays or when friends and family come over to visit.

It's a great base for the chicken and creamy sauce.
