Step 1
Pat chicken dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 3
Sear chicken 6–7 minutes per side without moving. Sides should be golden; transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Slice mushrooms 1/4-inch thick. Add to the same skillet and cook 3 minutes until they release liquid.
Step 5
Pour in wine and scrape up any browned bits. Add cream and tarragon, then stir gently.
Step 6
Return chicken to the skillet and simmer 2 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Step 7
While sauce simmers, steam broccoli florets in a separate pot 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 8
Plate chicken, pour mushroom-tarragon sauce over top, and serve broccoli alongside.
