For the gravy: Meanwhile, skim fat from pan drippings, then pour drippings into a measuring cup. If necessary, add enough water to drippings to bring total liquid to 2 cups. Return drippings to roasting pan set on stovetop over medium-high. Add remaining tub chicken stock concentrate and port wine. Whisk, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan, until combined. Whisk 1/4 cup water with flour in a small bowl, then stir into pan. Cook, whisking often, until gravy is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Strain, if desired. Whisk in cream and remaining 1/4 tsp black pepper.
