Ingredients
1
tablespoon
olive oil
4-6
ounce
boneless skinless chicken breasts halves
1
Salt and pepper
1/2
cup
reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2
cup
white wine
3
tablespoons
lemon juice
3
cloves
garlic
minced
1
small shallot
2
finely diced
2
tablespoons
butter
1/4
cup
heavy cream
Fresh thyme
Instructions
Using a meat mallet, pound down the chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken, and cook until chicken reaches 165 F.
Remove chicken to a plate, and tent with foil to keep warm.
Whisk broth, white wine, lemon juice, garlic, and shallots into now empty skillet, scraping up any browned bits.
Simmer sauce until it reduces down to about 1/2 cup, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat, and whisk in butter and cream.
Return chicken to pan, and spoon sauce over the chicken.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme just before serving.
Notes
You'll want thin chicken breasts. If you can't find chicken breast halves, you can cut a larger chicken breast in half horizontally.
If you can't find a shallot, substitute 1/4 cup finely diced red onion.
