PREP TIME: 5min COOK TIME: 15min
Serves 4
Ingredients
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 small shallot, chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp. fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish
Step 1
Saute
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shallots and sauté for 1 minute.
Step 2
Simmer
Turn the breasts over and add the white wine. Place the lid on the skillet, turn the heat down to low and simmer for another 5 minutes until the chicken is done, which is when it feels firm to the touch and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 170°F.
Step 3
Boil
Transfer the chicken breasts to plates. Bring the liquid to a boil; add the chicken stock, cream and fresh tarragon. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until sauce has slightly thickened.
Step 4
Serve
Pour the sauce over the chicken and give a final scattering of tarragon to serve.
