Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds)
1 bunch tarragon, divided
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup heavy cream
Equipment:
kitchen string

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
  • Pull off excess fat around cavities of chicken and discard, then rinse chicken and pat dry. Mix together 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and rub inside cavity. Chop enough tarragon to measure 1 1/2 tablespoons and set aside, then add remainder of bunch to cavity. Put chicken in a flameproof shallow roasting pan or gratin dish and rub all over with 1/3 cup mustard. Tie legs together with string and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into fleshy part of a thigh (do not touch bone) registers 170°F, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Carefully tilt chicken so juices from cavity run into roasting pan, then transfer chicken to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from pan. Whisk in flour, then cook over medium heat, whisking, 1 minute. Add water, whisking constantly and scraping up brown bits, and bring to a boil. Simmer sauce until slightly thickened, then whisk in cream, remaining tablespoon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids, then stir in reserved chopped tarragon. Serve chicken with sauce.

Sautéed Chicken Breasts With Tarragon image

As the owner of the French Laundry, Per Se and Bouchon, restaurateur Thomas Keller is best known for haute cuisine, but he can do weeknight cooking, too. Case in point: this elegant and easy chicken dish that can be ready in about 20 minutes.

Provided by Kim Severson

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
6 large (about 6 ounces each) or 12 small (about 3 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Canola oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped tarragon plus 1 tablespoon whole tarragon leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix together paprika and curry powder, and sprinkle on both sides of chicken breasts; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Place 2 breasts on large sheet of plastic wrap, cover with more plastic and pound with a mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with remaining breasts. (Chicken may be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 12 hours.)
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add enough canola oil to film the bottom of pan. Working in batches, without crowding, place breasts smooth side down and let cook until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
  • Wipe out skillet and return to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and shallot, and sauté for 30 seconds, swirling pan to coat shallot with butter. Add wine, raise heat to medium-high, and cook until wine is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add stock, bring to boil, and cook until reduced and slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in chopped tarragon, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and any juices that have accumulated on baking sheet. Swirl to melt butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken on a warmed platter, pour sauce over it, and garnish with whole tarragon leaves.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the right mustard: Different mustards have different flavors, so choose one that you enjoy. Dijon mustard is a classic choice, but you could also try whole-grain mustard or honey mustard.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and create a crispy crust.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

Mustard tarragon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of mustard, tarragon, and chicken is flavorful and satisfying. Plus, this dish is healthy and low in calories. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give mustard tarragon chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
