The promise of a tarragon chicken dinner sounds elegant and special, like something off a French bistro\u2019s carte du jour<\/em>. In reality, this tarragon chicken recipe is so easy that you may feel like you stretched the truth a bit when hyping it up to your loved ones. While the flavor is nothing less than stunning and the plating is superb, the whole thing is a cinch to make.<\/p>\n Basically, you\u2019re browning chicken breasts in a pan, deglazing the pan with heavy cream and reducing it until it reaches a sauce consistency, and dressing it up with fresh tarragon, sauteed shallots and a bit of lemon juice. Seriously, that\u2019s it. Your impressive-sounding dinner is ready in just 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Line a plastic cutting board with a layer of storage wrap. Lay the chicken breasts on top, keeping them evenly spaced apart. Place a layer of storage wrap on top of the chicken breasts. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to a 1\/2-inch thickness. Remove the storage wrap and sprinkle the chicken with 1\/2 teaspoon of salt and the pepper.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook them for\u00a0four to five minutes on each side\u00a0until they\u2019re no longer pink. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and keep them warm.<\/p>\n Add the chopped shallot to the same pan. Cook and stir the shallot over medium heat until tender. Add the heavy whipping cream, stirring to loosen the browned bits from the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the sauce until it has slightly thickened. Stir in 2 teaspoons of the tarragon, the lemon juice and the remaining salt.<\/p>\n Serve the tarragon sauce with chicken. Garnish it with the remaining tarragon.<\/p>\n Let your chicken and tarragon sauce cool completely to room temperature. It\u2019s best to store the sauce and chicken in separate airtight containers so you can reheat them easily later on. They\u2019ll last for up to four days in the fridge.<\/p>\n Reheat chicken<\/a> in a 400\u00b0F oven on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes. You could also reheat the chicken breasts in the microwave with a little drizzle of olive oil and water to prevent the chicken from drying out. Microwave the chicken for around two minutes, zapping it in 30-second intervals after that if needed.<\/p>\n Reheat the tarragon sauce low and slow in a skillet on the stovetop until it’s heated through. Pour the sauce over your chicken. The whole dish should be just as delicious as it was the day you made it!<\/p>\n We love serving this chicken tarragon over a bed of wild rice or herbed rice pilaf<\/a>. It\u2019s great with deluxe mashed potatoes<\/a> or a lower-carb mashed cauliflower with parmesan<\/a>, too. Round out the meal with sauteed asparagus or green beans. We bet everyones’ plates will be clean by the end of the meal.<\/p>\n Absolutely! The tarragon cream sauce would be delicious spooned over a baked, flaky white fish<\/a> like halibut or cod, or on a perfectly cooked cast-iron steak<\/a>. Even grilled or sauteed vegetables would benefit from being dipped in the sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is comfort food at its finest.

I almost skipped making this dish because of a newly diagnosed dairy allergy in the family, but decided to try it with unsweetened cashew milk (thanks to another reviewer who mentioned using almond milk). It turned out absolutely delicious! The other changes I made: doubled the recipe (because we have hungry teens), quadrupled the sauce, and instead of taking the chicken out to warm, I added it back after making the sauce and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes. The fresh tarragon is wonderful, but I can also see this dish working with other herbs like sage, dill, thyme, as well. Also note: it takes quite a bit longer to put this dish together if doubling the contents. For me, a slow chopper, I guess, it was well over an hour from start to plating.<\/p> <\/p> Served the chicken with noodles and the extra sauce, plus fresh tarragon leaves as garnish.
