Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
1/4 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 to 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh French tarragon
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Browning the chicken. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large (10 to 12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Using tongs, carefully lower the chicken breasts into the pan and cook them for about 1 minute on each side just until hey begin to brown slightly. Transfer the still-raw chicken to a plate.
  • 2. Poaching in cream. Reduce the heat under the skillet to low. Add the shallot and cook, stirring constantly, until softened but not browned, less than 1 minute. Add the vermouth and cook for 30 seconds, then add the cream and half the tarragon. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and adjust the heat so that the cream gently simmers. Cover and cook until the chicken is firm and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. To check for doneness, cut into the thickest part of a breast with a paring knife ¿ there should be no sign of pink or translucence.
  • 3. Finishing. Transfer the chicken breasts to a warmed serving platter or individual dinner plates. The sauce should be thick enough to lightly coat a spoon. If it is too thin, continue to simmer it for about 1 minute and it will thicken. Stir in the remaining tarragon and the lemon juice, then taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve right away with buttered egg noodles.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are measured, chopped, and prepped. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will significantly impact the final dish. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible, and choose high-quality cheese and mushrooms.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken instead of seared chicken.
  • Cook the chicken to the proper temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat and tender.
  • Add the cream and cheese at the end: Adding the cream and cheese at the end of the cooking process will help prevent them from curdling. Stir them in gently until they are just combined.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken will be tender and juicy, and the sauce will be creamy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This creamy tarragon chicken with mushrooms and chevre is a delicious and elegant dish perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The chicken is seared until golden brown and then simmered in a creamy sauce made with tarragon, mushrooms, and chevre. The result is a flavorful and tender dish that is sure to impress your guests.
