Step 1
Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.
Step 2
Sear chicken 4 minutes per side without moving, until golden. Transfer to a plate.
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.
Step 4
Return chicken to skillet. Pour wine into the pan, scrape any browned bits, and simmer uncovered for 2 minutes.

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