1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2

Salt and pepper one side of the chicken breast, using a pinch of salt held 8 to 10 inches above the chicken.

3

Prepare the shallots by cutting them in half lengthwise and peeling off the outer skin.

4

Mince the shallots by making long cuts and then chopping them into small pieces.

5

Gather a couple leaves of each herb: sage, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Use about a quarter cup of the leaves.

6

Chop the herbs finely until they resemble confetti.

7

Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

8

Add about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and let it shimmer.

9

Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and season the underside with salt and pepper.

10

Cook the chicken skin-side down for a couple of minutes until it releases from the pan and is golden brown.

11

Turn the chicken over when it has good color and the skin releases easily from the pan.

12

Turn off the heat and transfer the skillet to the oven to roast the chicken.

13

Check the chicken's temperature after about 15 minutes, aiming for 160 to 165 degrees.

14

Remove the chicken from the oven and place it on a rimmed baking sheet or cutting board, allowing drippings to fall back into the pan.

15

Turn the heat back on to medium and let the drippings come to a simmer.

16

Add the minced shallots to the pan and sweat them without adding color.

17

Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

18

Add a small amount of white wine to the pan and stir it around.

19

Add chicken broth to the pan, or substitute with more broth or apple juice if avoiding alcohol.

20

Juice a lemon into the pan mixture.

21

Bring the heat up to medium-high to bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce it to medium.

22

Allow the pan sauce to reduce by about half, then reduce the heat to low.

23

Add the chopped herbs to the sauce and taste for seasoning.

24

Plate one chicken breast per plate, using a spoon to drizzle the sauce and herbs around the chicken.
