How to make

Chicken Breasts for the Princess
- Pound the chicken breasts to flatten them somewhat. (If they are very thick, halve them horizontally.) Put the flour on a plate and season it with the salt and white pepper. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour; shake off any excess.
- Melt 5 tablespoons of the butter in the olive oil in a very large skillet over moderately high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until cooked through and light brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken to a heated serving dish and cover to keep warm.
- Pour the Marsala into the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the cream and simmer, stirring, until it is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and the remaining 1tablespoon butter, whisking to amalgamate the sauce. Taste for seasoning and pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.
- Garnish with the black truffles, if you have them. If not, try a sprinkling of parsley or chives. Serve at once.
