Chicken Scallopini with Saffron Cream Sauce

*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.

Ingredients

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*

1/4 Teaspooon Saffron Threads

1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

3/4 Teaspoon Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper

Chopped Parsley

Directions

Step 1: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through.

Step 2: Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Add shallot and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until soft.

Step 3: Deglaze the pan with the white wine or vermouth. Scrape all the brown bits from the bottome of the pan. Cook until the wine or vermouth is almost evaporated.

Step 4: Add the chicken stock and saffron threads, bring to a simmer and reduce for 10 minutes.

Step 5: Add the cream and some salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasion.
