Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces shallots, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

Step 7

Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 10

Remove the chicken and keep it warm on a plate. Lower the heat to medium-low.

Step 11

Stir in the heavy cream and chopped tarragon, letting the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 12

Add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 13

Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat it well.

Step 14

Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
