Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 shallots, chopped
• ½ cup white Zinfandel wine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Combine the sesame oil, rosemary, basil, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Pour the herb mixture over the chicken breasts; cover and marinate 20 minutes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Melt the butter in the skillet, and add the shallots. Cook the shallots until softened and browned, about 5-8 minutes.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high, and stir the wine into the chicken-shallot mixture. Cook all ingredients for 5 minutes longer, allowing the wine to reduce. Check the chicken for doneness: it is cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
