Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pieces shallots
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 0.5 cups chicken stock
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup seedless white grapes
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the finely chopped shallots to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Add the chicken stock to the skillet and let the liquid simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 10

Add the seedless white grapes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm them through.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side of your choice.
