1 tablespoon olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
8 fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 sprig fresh tarragon
3 1/2 tablespoons port wine
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

In a deep skillet, heat oil on high. Coat chicken with flour, add to skillet, reduce heat and cook on low for 10 minutes (or until cooked through). Remove chicken breasts to a platter and keep warm. To the same skillet, add the shallots, saute for 1 minute, then add wine and heat until reduced by half. Add stock and heat for 5 minutes until sauce thickens. Meanwhile, in a small pan, saute mushrooms in a little oil. Add tarragon to mushrooms, then add both to the chicken and wine sauce. Cook all for 7 minutes, stir in port and cook for 5 more minutes. Arrange the chicken on a platter and spoon sauce over it. Garnish with parsley and extra thyme sprigs. Serve.
