"This makes a simple romantic dinner for 2. I found this recipe in Reader's Digest Creative Cooking, published back in the 70s. The cooking time I have listed is from the cookbook, but I've cut the recipe in half so it shouldn't take as long."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 shallot, finely chopped (this amount maybe too strong for some so reduce if you want)
• 1⁄4 cup red wine
• 1⁄4 cup chicken stock
• salt and pepper

directions

1. Cook the chicken in 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet over gentle heat until done.
2. Arrange the chicken on a serving dish and keep warm.
3. Add the shallot to the pan, with the red wine. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 1 minute.
4. Add the stock and boil briskly until reduced by half.
5. Stir in the remaining butter in small pieces and season to taste.
6. Just before serving, pour the sauce over the chicken.
