Steps:
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, deep saute pan or Dutch oven over high heat. Add the shrimp and saute over high heat, stirring occasionally until the shrimp turns pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, reduce the heat to medium, and then place them in the pan (there should still be some butter and oil in the pan; if not, add a little more). Cook chicken over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add the wine, followed by the chicken broth, shallot, and garlic; cook for another 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
- Add the cream, mustard, lemon juice, and herbes de Provence to the pan and stir to combine. Remove pan from the heat.
- Peel the shells from the shrimp. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl. Return the sauce to the heat, bring to a boil, and simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Place 4 of the chicken breast halves, skinned side down, on a flat surface. Using a sharp knife, slice halfway through the meatiest portion of each breast half. Open up the breast, butterfly-style, and pound lightly with a mallet without breaking the tissues. On one half of the underside of the breast there is a detachable piece of meat known as the fillet. Remove and pound each of these lightly to flatten. Set aside.
- Cut the remaining chicken breast half into 1-inch cubes. Put the cubes in the container of a food processor or electric blender and start blending while adding the cream, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly. There should be about 1/2 cup. Arrange 2 of the shrimp close together in the center of each flattened chicken breast half. Spoon an equal portion of the blended mixture over the shrimp. Cover with flattened fillets. Fold the outer portions of each chicken breast half over the filling to enclose it compactly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the chicken in one layer. Add the onion and shallots and cook until wilted.
- Slice off the core end of the tomato and cut the tomato into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Add these to the skillet. Add the thyme, basil and wine. Arrange the stuffed breast halves over the mixture and bring to the boil. Cover closely and cook 10 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a warm serving dish. Cook the sauce down over high heat about 2 minutes.
- Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and add the parsley. Stir. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and serve hot.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHAMPAGNE SAUCE AND FRESH CHIVES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle lemon juice over chicken breasts. Salt & pepper breasts to taste. Heat large skillet over high heat. When pan is hot, add oil and butter. When butter is melted but not brown, add chicken breasts and cook until well browned on one side (approximately 2-3 minutes). Watch closely to avoid burning. Flip chicken breasts and do the same on other side. When well browned on both sides, remove to cookie sheet. Place chicken in 500 degree, preheated oven and cook 9-10 minutes; remove from oven immediately when done and tent with foil to keep warm if sauce is not yet ready. Immediately after placing chicken in oven and while chicken is cooking, prepare sauce. In the same skillet used to brown the chicken and while pan is still hot, deglaze the pan with the champagne. Reduce over high heat until only a small amount remains (about 1-2 Tbsp). Add shallots and garlic, saute 1 minute. Add chicken stock, and reduce until 2-3 Tbsp of liquid remain. Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic and shallots. Reduce heat to medium, add cream. Simmer until slightly thickened (about 3 minutes). Add mustard, 3 Tbsp chives (reserve remaining Tbsp of chives for serving) and salt & pepper to taste. If chicken is not yet done, turn sauce to lowest heat setting to keep warm. To serve, place a bed of rice (if using) on plate. Top with chicken breast. Spoon a small amount of sauce over the top (just enough to look attractive), and sprinkle with reserved chives. Serve remaining sauce on the side for people to use as desired. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic produce and free-range, antibiotic-free chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken breasts, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the chicken to the proper temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: The champagne sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to cook the chicken.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and the sauce is warm.
Conclusion:
Shrimp-filled chicken breasts in champagne sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, the shrimp are plump and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and rich. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's easy to make ahead of time, so you can relax and enjoy your party.
