• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Sprinkle chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

2. Sauté Chicken: Heat butter and margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

3. Add Vegetables and Liquids: To the skillet, add carrots, celery, onion, chicken broth, grapefruit juice, sherry, and dried tarragon leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil.
