Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh tarragon, chopped

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil and melt the butter. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the skillet and brown on both sides. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and continue cooking approximately 15 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Remove chicken and set aside, keep warm.
  • Stirring cream into the pan, scrap up brown bits left in bottom of the pan. Mix in mustard and tarragon, cook and stir 5 minutes or until thickened. Return chicken to skillet and coat with sauce. Drizzle chicken with remaining sauce to serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If possible, use organic ingredients to avoid any pesticides or herbicides.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken to the proper temperature: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the chicken rest: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Use a good quality Dijon mustard: The Dijon mustard is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a mustard that is made with whole mustard seeds and has a sharp, tangy flavor.
  • Use fresh tarragon: Fresh tarragon is also essential for this recipe. If you can't find fresh tarragon, you can use dried tarragon, but it won't have the same flavor.

Conclusion:

Dijon tarragon cream chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of Dijon mustard, tarragon, and cream creates a rich and flavorful sauce that pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
