Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss potatoes, broccoli, and carrots with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Roast at 425°F while you cook the chicken.

  2. Step 2

    Pat chicken dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear chicken 5 minutes per side without moving. Chicken should be golden; center stays tender.

  5. Step 5

    Pour cream around the chicken. Add tarragon and squeeze lemon juice over top. Simmer 3 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon.

  6. Step 6

    Serve chicken and sauce alongside roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh tarragon if desired.
