Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.

  2. Step 2

    Sear chicken 4 minutes per side without moving, until golden. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add shallots to the same skillet, sear 2 minutes per side. Push to the side, add vegetables and 3 tbsp water, cover for 5 minutes until vegetables soften.

  4. Step 4

    Return chicken to skillet. Pour wine into the pan, scrape any browned bits, and simmer uncovered for 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in cream, mustard, tarragon, and lemon juice. Simmer 3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and chicken reaches 165°F internal temp.
