Ingredients
- 32 oz chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp shallots finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 6 oz white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh tarragon
- 6 slices fresh lemon
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a clean plate.
- To the same pan over medium heat, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the flour and whisk, cooking for about one minute.
- Add the prepared shallots and garlic. Whisk and cook until fragrant, about one minute more.
- Add the wine and bring to a low boil. Add the Dijon mustard and whisk until smooth.
- Add the chicken broth and heavy cream and cook until simmering.
- Whisk in the Dijon mustard to the sauce until smooth.
- Stir in the fresh tarragon. Return the chicken to the sauce. And top each chicken breast with a lemon slice.
- Lower the heat if necessary to keep the sauce at a low simmer. Cover the pan with a lid. Cook for about 10 minutes, until each chicken breast registers 165 degrees F in the thickest part.
- Serve immediately.
