Ingredients


Preparation

1. In a very large skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Lightly season (to taste) the chicken cutlets, after lightly pounding between wax paper sheets. Brown on outside, white on inside, maybe three to four minutes on each side. Do not over cook breasts. Transfer from skillet to covered dish. Repeat process until all breasts are completed.

2. Add the shallot to the skillet and cook over moderate heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds to one minute. Add the stock and cook for one minute, scraping up all of the browned bits. Whisk in the mustard and simmer until the stock has reduced by a third, about three minutes. Add the olives, currants, capers, and brown sugar and simmer for another minute, stirring gently. Add one teaspoon of arrow root to two teaspoons of water and dissolve, pour into skillet while continuing to stir. As ssoon as the sauce begins to thicken it is done.

3. Transfer the chicken to plates. Turn the heat down very low, whisk in the butter until mixed, adding a teaspoon of liquid from the currants, or extra broth, if need to keep the sauce from getting too thick.

4. Spoon the sauce over the chicken cutlets and serve at once.

Be careful to use only enough brown sugar to off-set the tartness of olives but not to make it too sweet, try one teaspoon if you prefer a more tart sauce. Also, too much arrow root mixture could make the sauce too thick. Currants can be soaked in two teaspoons of Port wine or two teaspoons of warm chicken broth. Softened they will add better flavor to the sauce. [I posted this recipe.]
