Chicken With Champagne Sauce Recipe
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped shallots
3/4 cup champagne or sparkling wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped chives
Place the chicken breasts flat between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat
mallet or other heavy object, pound the chicken until it is 1/2-inch thick. Heat
2 tablespoons butter in a large nonreactive skillet over high heat. Add the
chicken and saute 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden. Remove to a platter
and keep warm.
Add the shallots to the pan and cook over medium heat until tender. Stir in the
champagne. Cook over high heat until reduced by half. Stir in the cream, any
accumulated chicken juices and salt. Cook over medium heat until sauce thickens
slightly, stirring frequently; do not boil. Whisk in 1 tablespoon butter. Place
a chicken breast on each plate and spoon sauce over. Garnish with chives.
Makes 4 servings.
