Instructions:
-
Preparation: Sprinkle the chicken breast halves with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, reserving the remaining flour for later use.
-
Cooking Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
-
Sauteing Shallots: In the same skillet, add the shallot and sauté briefly until translucent and fragrant.
-
Deglazing with Wine: Pour in the dry white wine, allowing it to simmer and reduce until most of the liquid has evaporated, while gently scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits for added flavor.
-
Creating the Sauce Base: Sprinkle the reserved flour over the shallots in the skillet, whisking continuously to create a thick paste.
-
Adding Flavor: Sprinkle in the chopped fresh tarragon, then gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth and well combined.
-
Returning Chicken to Skillet: Return the browned chicken breast halves to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer gently in the flavorful sauce for about 25 minutes, or until tender and cooked through.
-
Keeping Chicken Warm: Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a heated platter and keep warm.
-
Preparing the Creamy Sauce: To the skillet, add the remaining butter and the heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce is heated through and well blended.
-
Serving: Pour the creamy tarragon sauce over the chicken on the serving platter, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
-
Garnishing: Garnish the dish with fresh tarragon sprigs for a vibrant burst of color and added freshness.
-
