Ingredients:

Serving

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
4 medium shallots, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 tsp sugar
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup dried currant
1/2 cup fresh thyme leave, chopped
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp cornstarch

Directions:

Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer on a work surface and cover with plastic wrap.
Using a meat mallet, heavy skillet or a rolling pin, pound them until flattened to about 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge both sides of each breast through sesasoned flour.
In a large skillet over medium-high, heat oil and butter. Add chicken breasts and cook until they are well browned on both sides and no longer pink at the center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer them to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shallots and sugar to skillet and cook, stirring, until they begin to color, about 2 minutes.
Add chicken broth, currants and thyme, then stir and scrape the bottom of the skillet.
In a small bowl, stir together vinegar and cornstarch. Stir mixture into skillet and bring to a simmer.
Let cook until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve chicken breasts topped with sauce.
