- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and sprinkle them generously on both sides with salt and pepper.

- Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, combine the white wine, lemon juice, and shallots and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until only 2 tablespoons of liquid remain in the pan. If it reduces too much, add an extra splash of white wine or water. Add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to a full boil. Remove from the heat, add the diced butter, and swirl the pan until the butter is incorporated. Don't reheat or the sauce will "break"!

- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it remains tender and juicy.
- Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine you use in this dish should be one that you would enjoy drinking on its own. A dry or semi-dry white wine with a crisp acidity will work best.
- Don't Boil the Wine: When you add the white wine to the pan, bring it to a simmer but do not let it boil. Boiling the wine will cook off the alcohol and remove its delicate flavor.
- Reduce the Sauce: Simmer the sauce for a few minutes to reduce it and concentrate the flavors. This will create a rich and flavorful sauce that will complement the chicken perfectly.
