Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 large Shallots, finely minced
- 0.5 cups Dry sherry
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Trim the chicken breasts and slice them into thin strips, about 1/2-inch wide.
Season the chicken strips with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge them in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the minced shallots until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the dry sherry, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Let the sherry simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce and concentrate the flavors.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken strips to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat evenly. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley for garnish and serve warm over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
