Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 2
Sear chicken 4 minutes per side without moving—edges should turn golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add green beans and broccoli rabe to the skillet. Toss with salt and pepper, spread in a single layer. Sear 3 minutes.
Step 4
Push vegetables to the edges. Add shallot to the center and cook until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
Step 5
Pour in broth and cream. Return chicken to the skillet. Simmer until sauce thickens and chicken reaches 165°F, about 4 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in tarragon. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve immediately in shallow bowls.
