Chicken with caramelized shallots

I hate to admit it but I’m not a fan of chicken.  I’d rather eat pretty much anything else than chicken; however, I know how good chicken is for me so I try to incorporate it into our meals.  This is an easy yet tasty chicken recipe that a beginner cook can master.

Chicken with caramelized shallots (served over basmati rice)

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter (or margarine)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

4-5 large shallows, peeled, chopped up

Sea salt and black pepper

Directions:

In a sauté pan melt butter (margarine) add shallots.

Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes over medium heat until shallots start to brown.

Place shallots in a bowl.

In a large bowl (or zip-lock bag) add chicken, olive oil, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.  Mix until chicken is coated.

In the same sauté pan, cook chicken over medium heat until done.

Tip: Chicken will feel *squishy* when raw, when the squish is gone the chicken is done.  Cooked chicken is white.

When chicken is fully cooked, add shallots and cook together for 2-3 minutes.

Serve over basmati rice.
