Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin
salt and pepper to taste
2 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
0.33 cup dry white wine
0.5 cup chicken broth

Instructions

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then brown both sides in the skillet. Cover the skillet, and continue cooking for 10 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear. Set aside the chicken and keep it warm.
Mix shallots and garlic into the skillet over medium heat and cook until they are tender. Stir in the wine, and cook until heated through. Then, stir in the broth, and continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened. Mix in the remaining butter until melted. Serve the shallot sauce generously over the pan-seared chicken.
