- 4 (6 ounce) boneless chicken breasts
- 1 medium shallot, finely diced

This was superb. Wish I could give it more stars. I did make some changes: I halved the recipe (only 2 of us), used 1/2 & 1/2 for the cream and chicken stock for the veal demi-glace. Don't cook with veal, so wouldn't have glace on hand. Not sure you'd notice it that much. Made for New Kids on the Block Tag game. :)

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River.
Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born.
The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good.
