- Slice each chicken breast into two cutlets by cutting through the center of the breast with a sharp knife.
- Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1½ tsp oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add cutlets to pan and cook 2 minutes on each side or until done. Remove cutlets from pan; keep warm.
- Add half of the butter to pan. Add shallots and garlic; saute 1 minute. Increase heat to high. Add wine; bring to a boil, and cook 2 minutes, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
