Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 whole boned, unskinned chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup shallots, minced
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken broth or stock
2 cups heavy cream
4 sweet red bell peppers, pureed (see recipe)
1/2 cup chopped, mixed fresh herbs (chives, chervil and parsley)

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breasts in half, and thoroughly wash and dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil over moderately high heat. Add breasts and saute 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden.
  • Bake in preheated oven 5 to 7 minutes, basting once. Skin should be crisp and springy to touch. Remove from pan and keep warm.
  • Discard remaining oil in pan. Add butter and saute shallots until soft but not brown.
  • Pour white wine into pan and bring to simmer. Stir, scraping bottom and sides, until liquid is reduced to about Y cup.
  • Add chicken stock and reduce liquid to approximately 1 cup, scraping brown bits from pan.
  • Add heavy cream and simmer until liquid thickens, being careful not to let it boil over.
  • Add pureed peppers and stir until heated through. Place a quarter of the mixture on each of four plates. Put two breast halves on top of each; sprinkle with mixed herbs.

Meh. It was okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was bland. I wouldn't make this again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was easy to make. I think I would try it again with a different sauce next time.

Delicious and easy to make! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts and it was still very good. The sauce is the star of the show - it's sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy. I will definitely be making this again!
