SAUTéED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SHALLOTS AND GARLIC
I took the recipe from: http://www.reluctantgourmet.com/. This was the first time that I had ever made a reduction sauce. I liked the flavor of the sauce and the next time I would make extra. In terms of cooking the chicken, it was not fully cooked when it left the skillet and it finished cooking in the oven on low while I was making the sauce. I also made this dish with rice. Yummy with the sauce.

Steps:
- 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, approximately 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, approximately 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.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for corn that is plump and sweet, shallots that are firm and have no signs of sprouting, and chicken breasts that are fresh and free of any blemishes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're sautéing the chicken breasts, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown evenly. If you crowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken breasts for doneness: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also cut into the chicken to check for doneness. The chicken should be cooked through and the juices should run clear.
- Season the chicken breasts generously: This will help to bring out their flavor. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Add the corn and shallots to the pan towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
Conclusion:
This sautéed chicken breasts with fresh corn, shallots, and cream is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken breasts are tender and juicy, and the corn and shallots add a sweet and savory flavor. The cream sauce is rich and creamy, and it brings all of the flavors together. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
