Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast halves boneless - skinless
- 1½ tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and ground pepper to taste
- 3 shallots finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ¾ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Have the rest of the ingredients ready to go.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Pre-heat your saute pan (frying pan) until drops of water quickly evaporate. This means the pan is at least 212° F.
- Heat butter and oil in a heavy bottomed pan over high heat until butter stops foaming and just starts to turn a light brown.
- Sauté the breasts until they are lightly browned on one side, approx. 3 minutes.
- Turn breasts over and sauté for another 3 minutes, again until lightly browned. (At this point the meat should be firm to the touch.)
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and keep warm in the oven or toaster oven set at low.
- Remove the pan from the head source, and add half of the wine to deglaze the pan, stirring to dissolve the flavorful brown particles stuck to the pan.
- Return pan to the stove and add the shallots and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, making sure the garlic doesn’t burn. (It makes the dish bitter if it does)
- Add the remaining wine and reduce (boil) until only a trace of wine is left in the pan.
- Add the chicken stock and reduce to half the original amount, approx. 6-7 minutes.
- Add the cream, and again reduce until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon.
- Spoon sauce over cutlets and serve.
