• Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and keep warm in the oven or toaster oven set at low.

• Return pan to the stove and add the shallots and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, making sure the garlic doesn't burn. (It makes the dish bitter if it does).
• Add the remaining wine and reduce (boil) until only a trace of wine is left in the pan.
• Add the chicken stock and reduce to half the original amount, approximately 6-7 minutes.
• Add the cream, and again reduce until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon.
• Spoon sauce over cutlets and serve.
