After the chicken has been browned on both sides and removed to a plate,add in. A drizzle more oil and sauteed the shallot and garlic.
Add in the chicken stock and use a wooden spoon to really scrape the bottom of the pan This loosens up any browned bits and incorporates that flavour into the sauce.
