Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 50 mins


• place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish. combine the sesame oil, rosemary, basil, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. pour the herb mixture over the chicken breasts; cover and marinate 20 minutes.
• heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes on each side. melt the butter in the skillet, and add the shallots. cook the shallots until softened and browned, about 5-8 minutes.
• increase the heat to medium-high, and stir the wine into the chicken-shallot mixture. cook all ingredients for 5 minutes longer, allowing the wine to reduce. check the chicken for doneness: it is cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
