"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Ingredients:  
6 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 T. butter
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
16 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
˝ C. white wine
2 C. Swiss cheese, grated
Directions:
Directions:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Melt butter until it bubbles down and sauté the shallots and garlic for 2 minutes. Increase heat a bit and add the mushrooms. Continue to sauté until mushrooms take on some nice brown color. Move all of the mushroom, shallots and garlic off the side of the pan and add chicken breasts. Cook about 5 minutes per side, making sure the heat is high enough to achieve a nice golden brown crust on the chicken, but not too hot that it will burn. Add the wine to the pan to deglaze and cook for about 2 minutes. Shut off the heat, spoon mushrooms, shallots and garlic over each breast, and top with equal amounts of Swiss cheese. Put a lid on the skillet and allow the cheese to melt.
