- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3-4 tablespoons minced shallots
- 1 heaping tablespoon honey
- Pinch of ground allspice
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Dash of fresh grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
In the pan (reserve some of the fat from the chicken/oil), heat the shallots, honey and allspice over medium heat and cook, stirring until the shallots are wilted, around 1-2 minutes. Increase the heat to high and add the chicken stock and lemon juice. Boil, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Add the cream and boil until the sauce is slightly thickened and add the balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Return to a boil and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
(PS-for my veg friends, I imagine this would taste pretty good on some salmon or tuna)
That looks delicious!
