2. Preparation of the Sauce
In the same pan, sauté the shallot and garlic for 1 minute. Deglaze with the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits. Add the cream, reduce for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the Parmesan cheese until you get a smooth sauce.
3. Assembly
Place the fillets back in the sauce and simmer for 2 minutes over low heat to coat well.
