Child-ishly Paleo Chicken Breasts with Port and Mushroom Sauce

For the chicken:
 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
 ½ cup almond flour
 1 to 2 Tbsp butter, olive oil, or grapeseed oil
 fresh-ground salt and pepper
For the sauce:
 1 tbsp shallots, minced
 ½ lb fresh mushrooms
 ½ tbsp butter
 ½ cup Dairy Free creamer (like Pods)
 ½ tbsp cornstarch, arrowroot, or tapioca starch
 ½ cup or more medium-dry good-quality port
For the sauce:
1

Whisk cornstarch or other thickener into creamer until dissolved. Set aside.

2

Wash mushrooms, cut off browned stems if necessary, and halve or quarter if large.

3

Heat butter in skillet or saucepan over medium heat until sizzling. Add mushrooms and shallots and saute until mushrooms begin to render their liquid, about 2 to 3 minutes.

4

Stir in port and simmer rapidly until reduced by about a third. Add the creamer mixture and whisk until thickened and beginning to boil, about 2 to 3 more minutes. Adjust seasonings. Set aside.

For the chicken:
5

Wash the chicken breasts and pat them dry. Flatten to 1/2" thickness by pounding with the flat end of a meat mallet or other heavy kitchen item between two sheets of plastic wrap, waxed paper, or parchment paper.

6

Dredge breasts in almond flour and set aside. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and add fat.

7

Saute chicken breasts in fat 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is browned slightly; turn with tongs and saute the other side. Test with instant-read thermometer and chicken should be done when temperature reads 165 degrees F.

8

Plate each breast and top with sauce. Serve immediately.
