    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2/3 cup grated shallots (about 5)
4 teaspoons plus 7 tablespoons (or more) olive oil
2 cups minced shallots (about 10)
1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar
4 tablespoons water
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons honey

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place chicken, grated shallots, and 4 teaspoons oil in large bowl; toss. Refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 8 hours.

    Step 2

    Bring 1/3 cup minced shallots, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons water to boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until shallots are soft, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Whisk in 5 tablespoons oil, parsley, cilantro, honey, and 2 tablespoons water. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Step 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining minced shallots; sauté about 3 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Working in 2 batches, add chicken to skillet; sauté until cooked through, adding more oil if necessary, about 6 minutes per side.

    Step 4

    Transfer chicken to cutting board. Cut on diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Divide chicken among 6 plates. Sprinkle with sautéed shallots. Bring sauce to simmer. Spoon over chicken and serve.
