• Saute over medium high heat three to four minutes each side, brown nicely but watch the heat, lower if getting too dark. Remove chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Add the shallots to the pan and briefly saute, two minutes or so. Add the wine and scrape up all the brown bits,bring heat up to high, watch closely and reduce to a thick glaze. Stir all along.

BASIC REDUCTION SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the roast and pour off all but 1 or 2 tablespoons of the cooking fat (if there are nonfatty juices in the skillet or roasting pan, leave them there). Place the roasting pan over high heat. (Use two burners if the pan is large.) Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until it softens, about 1 minute.
• Add the liquid and cook, stirring and scraping to loosen the brown bits at the bottom of the pan. Allow the liquid to boil for about 5 minutes, or until about a third of it evaporates. (This is a good time to carve the meat; the boiling liquid needs only occasional stirring.)
• Turn the heat to medium-low and add the butter or oil, a little at a time, stirring well after each addition. Taste and season if necessary with salt and pepper, then serve with the meat.
