Tarragon Chicken

Found this recipe inside an article on Delish. I am usually not a fan of creamy sauces, but this one seems light enough that it would taste good and not overpower the meal.

Tarragon Chicken

From EatingWell.com

This creamy sauce is a classic with chicken — and while tarragon is the traditional herb, thyme or rosemary would also work beautifully. Serve with sautéed string beans and wild rice.


Serves: 4 Edit

Total Time: 35 min

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
  • 3 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup(s) finely chopped shallots
  • 1/2 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup(s) dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon(s) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon(s) reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh tarragon

Directions

  1. Season chicken on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan. Add shallots; cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and wine and bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  3. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan; reduce heat to low. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a warmed platter. Stir mustard, sour cream and tarragon into sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon over the chicken.
