Sautéed Boneless Chicken Breasts with Madeira Sauce
by:
Since the main reason for cooking boneless, skinless chicken breasts is speed, it is handy to have an all-purpose sauce to liven them up a little. The butter in this sauce gives it a silky texture, but it can also be left out. Any sweet wine, such as Marsala or port, can be substituted for the Madeira. Makes 4 main-course servings.

preparation
1. Cook the chicken breasts as directed and transfer to warmed plates. Pour the burned fat out ofthe pan, add the shallot to the still-hot pan, and whisk over medium heat for about 1 minute, or until the shallot smells toasty. Add the Madeira - stand back in case it ignites - and boil down until reduced by about halt. Add the broth or glaze - if you are using the glaze, you will have to stir it around until it dissolves and perhaps add a little water if the mixture gets too thick - and simmer the sauce until it has a lightly syrupy consistency.
2. Stir in the parsley, whisk in the butter, and season with salt and pepper. It the sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon or two of broth, water, or heavy cream. Spoon the sauce over the chicken breasts and serve right away.
