Chicken Breasts Baked on Wild Mushrooms image

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.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I shredded some leftover rotisserie chicken and added it to the recipe. It turned out great!
