“Everybody loves this simple and delicious chicken. If you don't have white Zinfandel available, you can use another wine, whiskey, bourbon, or even balsamic vinegar. This recipe is very versatile!” - by BSHIPP

Directions

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Combine the sesame oil, rosemary, basil, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Pour the herb mixture over the chicken breasts; cover and marinate 20 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Melt the butter in the skillet, and add the shallots. Cook the shallots until softened and browned, about 5-8 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high, and stir the wine into the chicken-shallot mixture. Cook all ingredients for 5 minutes longer, allowing the wine to reduce. Check the chicken for doneness: it is cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

"I really enjoyed this recipe it's very refreshing a good summer recipe for the grill!!What I did is used the wine in the marinade and also omitted the sesame oil and used olive oil. I also chopped som..." See moree fresh parsley instead of shallots and put it in the marinade. I let it sit for about an hour. I cooked the chicken on the stove until it was almost done and then I added the marinade to it and let it cook for about 5-10 min longer. At the end I put it in the broiler for a few min on each side to get it a little crunchy on the outside."
