Ingredients:  
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 large egg
1-1/2 T. milk
1 c. dry breadcrumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
1 medium shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1-1/2 T. honey
1 to 2 T. fresh thyme leaves, chopped
3 T. cream or half-and-half
Directions:
Directions:
Place breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to a uniform thickness of 1/2-inch. In a shallow dish (pie plate works well), beat egg together with milk. Spread breadcrumbs on a plate or sheet of wax paper and combine with 1 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Heat about 1/8-inch of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and set aside. Wipe the pan clean and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Reduce heat to medium and add the shallots. Sauté shallots until softened, 2 to 3 minutes, then whisk in the honey, thyme and cream. Return chicken to pan and carefully turn each piece several times until breadcrumb coating has absorbed the sauce. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
