Step 1
Start the fries in a separate pan or air fryer according to package directions; they'll finish around step 5.
Step 2
Pat chicken breasts dry. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear chicken 7–8 minutes per side without moving until golden brown; internal temp should reach 165°F.
Step 5
Transfer chicken to a plate. Pour wine into the skillet, scraping up browned bits; let bubble 1 minute.
Step 6
Whisk in Dijon, cream, and tarragon. Return chicken to the pan and simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce clings.
Step 7
Dress salad greens with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt. Plate chicken with fries and salad.
