How to Make Chicken In Shallot Gravy

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an electric skillet or large oven-safe skillet with a lid to 375°F (190°C).
Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika.
Add chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
Add 1 pound of shallots, thinly sliced, to the skillet. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
Cover and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shallots are tender.
Return chicken to the skillet, placing it on top of the shallots.
Add 2 fresh bay leaves to the skillet.
Pour 1/2 cup of dry white wine over the chicken.
Bring to a simmer and cook until most of the wine has evaporated, about 8 minutes, leaving a syrupy reduction.
Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth (or turkey stock!).
Reduce heat to 325°F (160°C), cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. Whisk in 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg into the sauce until smooth and incorporated.
Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Warm for 5 minutes, turning to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
