Chicken in Shallot Sauce
Ingredients
For 4 people
1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
4chicken breast cutlets, trimmed of fat (about 1 lb.)
1 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
5 teaspoon(s) canola oil, divided
16 tablespoon(s) thinly sliced shallots
2 cup(s) halved seedless green or red grapes
8 floz white wine
1 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Place flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour (reserve excess flour). Heat 3 tsp. of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden on the first side, 2 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, turn the chicken and cook until the other side is golden, 2 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 2 tsp. oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until just starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add grapes and cook, stirring occasionally, until just starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with 5 tsp. of the reserved flour; stir to coat. Add wine and broth; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any browned bits, until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir in parsley.
Return the chicken to the pan, turning to coat with sauce, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve the chicken with the sauce on top.
