Ingredients
  • 2 tbls unsalted butter
  • 3 tbls extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/8 inch slice of pancetta
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 6 chicken breasts (In this particular recipe, I use regular chicken breasts with the bones and skin left on because I like the additional flavor that they add to the dish.)
  • Salt, pepper and garlic powder to season the chicken
  • 1 8-oz. can tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup port wine (You can substitute with your favorite sweet red wine if you like.)*
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp Chili Flakes (or more if you like) ;o)
  • 1 16-oz package frozen, shelled and deveined shrimp
  • *Portuguese fortified wine

Directions
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat sauté the pancetta in the olive and butter for about 3 minutes then add onion and garlic and sauté for another 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta, onion and garlic from the skillet.
  3. In the remaining butter/olive oil in the skillet, cook chicken breasts until golden brown on all sides.
  4. Stir in tomato sauce, wine, basil and deglaze the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Add 3 tablespoons of the chopped parsley; and add back in the pancetta, onion, garlic and add chili flakes then bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken is tender.
  6. Add frozen shrimp to the skillet, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 2-3 minutes or until shrimp is just pink and tender, stirring often. Skim off any fat, if you like.
  7. After you place the chicken/shrimp mixture into your favorite serving dish, sprinkle the remaining chopped parsley over it.
  8. **********************************************************************
  9. This dish can be served with rice (white or brown), rice pilaf or couscous.
  10. Add your own special touch. I hope you enjoy it and make it your own.

Judy sweetie - holy moley girl - this looks and sounds great! I love the pancetta, chicken and shrimp combination with the port wine driven tomato, herb, garlic sauce. I also agree with using the skin on and bone in chicken...it does bring more flavor to the party and we love the flavor...yes, we do. And yessss, I will be adding those chili flakes - got to have them. ;-) And your serving suggestions are great. No doubt, this has totally impressed anyone lucky enough to sit at your table. I love it! High 5 and flags for beauty. Thank you for another great recipe - I can't wait to try them all. You are the best! *hugs* ~Vickie
