Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh tarragon, Dijon mustard, and chicken breasts will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chicken breasts in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the chicken instead of browning it.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat: This will help to brown the chicken quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcook the chicken breasts: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken breasts until they are just cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Make the pan sauce while the chicken is cooking: This will save time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready to serve when the chicken is done.
- Serve the chicken breasts with the pan sauce immediately: This will ensure that the chicken is hot and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful.
Conclusion:
This flavorful and easy-to-make dish of chicken breasts with fresh tarragon Dijon mustard pan sauce is perfect for a weeknight meal. With minimal ingredients and preparation, this recipe delivers maximum taste. The combination of tender, juicy chicken breasts and a creamy, tangy sauce makes this a dish that the whole family will enjoy.
