MUSTARD-TARRAGON CHICKEN SAUTé



Mustard-Tarragon Chicken Sauté image

Categories     Chicken     Mustard     Sauté     Low Carb     Spring     Tarragon     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
1/3 cup dry vermouth
2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Add shallots to same skillet and sauté 1 minute. Add vermouth and mustard and bring to simmer. Add cream and 1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon. Simmer until slightly thickened, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer until chicken is heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer chicken and sauce to platter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh, organic chicken, and use a good quality mustard and tarragon.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • If using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, be sure to pound them to an even thickness before cooking. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

This creamy mustard and tarragon chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
