Procedure

Step 4

Preheat oven to 400°F degrees.

Step 5

To prepare the chicken Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides; set aside.

Step 6

To cook the chicken To a large ovenproof skillet set over medium-high heat, add oil. When oil is shimmering, carefully add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Using tongs, flip the chicken and transfer the skillet to the oven to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm, reserving the skillet.

Step 7

Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat, add the shallots and cook until the shallots are tender, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, chicken broth, and lemon juice; use a silicone spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the liquid to a boil and continue to cook until it has reduced by half. Add herbs; taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Step 8

To serve Place chicken breasts on dinner plates, spoon sauce over the chicken, and serve immediately.
