Portuguese Chicken Steaks with Mushrooms

If you like Madeira Chicken or Chicken Marsala, you'll like this recipe too. Port adds a slightly brawny flavor over the sweeter Madeira or Marsala. Its amazing and delicious. 

This was an easy to throw together chicken. I didn't follow the instructions completely. I started with the mushrooms, then added the onions. I like my mushrooms a bit more caramelized. I took those out of the pan and then cooked the chicken. Threw it all together and then added the Port and cream. I think it turned out the same as if I followed the instructions.

• 1/2 glass port wine
• 1 c heavy cream

Add the flour to a plate and pass the chicken steaks through the flour one at a time, making sure they are well coated.

Then, chop the onion and the garlic and sauté them in a pan with the olive oil.

Add the chicken breasts and let them brown on both sides.

Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, add the port wine and when it evaporates add 1/2 cup of the cream.
