Ingredients

  • 4 (40z.) chicken cutlets
  • Coarse salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 2 shallots, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine OR unsalted chicken broth

Directions

  1. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil on medium-high until hot. Add chicken and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until browned, turning once. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add shallots to skillet and cook 2 minutes or just until browned. Add wine or broth; deglaze pan (loosen browned bits in skillet), bring to boil and simmer to reduce liquid by half.
