How to Pan Fry Chicken Breasts with Onion and Garlic
This recipe came from a reader who tried one of my recipes (Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Shallots and Garlic) and decided to change it to his liking. How dare he!
Actually, I love when my recipes are tried and improved on. Just remember to send me the improvements so I can post them. This is what Mark said to me in his initial email,
As to your recipe chicken breasts with shallots and garlic, I have one that’s very similar. Same ingredients but I add soy and balsamic vinegar while sautéing.
Omit the heavy cream, make sauce from chicken stock added to pan and make flour gravy. I like to serve it with boiled red potatoes and frozen Peas.
Oo La La! I call it “chicken voila”!
