Chicken Scaloppine in Madera-Cream Sauce

I made this a few weeks ago and everybody loved it.  It's very quick and easy.  The Madera gives the pan sauce a different (in a nice way) flavor:

Chicken Scaloppine with Madera-Cream Sauce

2 Skinless boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoon high heat oil: grapeseed oil, tea oil, etc. (or 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil)
1 large shallot, minced
1/4 cup Madera
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

Slice each chicken breast crosswise on the diagonal into four cutlets. Place cutlets one-at-a-time into a heavy plastic bag or between two sheets of waxed paper and use a mallet to pound each piece to about a 1/3-inch thickness. Sprinkle each cutlets with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.  Add the cutlets to the pan a few at a time (don't crowd them).  Saute until lightly browned and cooked through.  Transfer the cutlets to a plate, cover with foil, and keep warm.

When you've finished cooking all the chicken, add the shallots to the pan and saute until tender, about three minutes.  Add the Madera, de-glaze the pan, and bring to a boil.  Add the cream, boil until sauce thickens slightly.  Serve sauce over cutlets

Serves 4
