Smothered Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. butter, divided
2 Tbsp. olive oil
6 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless

Stir together flour, pepper, and salt; set aside. Simultaneously, heat two skillets: In one, heat 2 Tbsp. of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture and cook approximately 4 min. per side, until golden and fully cooked. In second skillet, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in a 10-in. skillet over medium-high heat and sauté shallot 2 to 3 min., stirring occasionally.
