Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Dried minced tomatoes*
  • 3 tablespoon Butter
  • 3 Whole Chicken breasts
Directions
  1. 1
    If using whole sun-dried tomatoes, mince them finely in a food processor or by hand until you have about 1/2 cup.
  2. 2
    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. 4
    Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook for 3 minutes on one side until golden brown.
  5. 5
    Flip the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes, or until springy to the touch and cooked through.
  6. 6
    Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, keeping warm.
  7. 7
    To the same skillet, add the minced sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 cup Port wine, and 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream.

    Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  9. 9
    Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and forms large shiny bubbles.
