*I make my own chicken stock to control the amount of salt. If you use store bought stock, do not add too much salt. I also brine my chicken for a couple of hours in salted water so the chicken will stay moist when cooking.
1 Pound Chicken Cutlets
Two Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Shallots Chopped Finely or Sliced in Rings
1 Clove Garlic
1/2 Cup White Wine or Vermouth
1 1/2 Cups Chicken Stock*
