Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded 1/4 inch thick

Method

  • In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture and shake off excess.
  • In a large frying pan, heat butter and oil over medium heat.
  • Add chicken and cook, turning, until opaque throughout, about 6 minutes.
  • Remove and set aside. Add shallots to the pan and cook until just soft, about 2 minutes.
