Introduction

This creamy sauce is a classic with chicken - and while tarragon is the traditional herb, thyme or rosemary would also work beautifully. Serve with sauteed string beans and wild rice.

Ingredients

    2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat
    pinch salt, plus more to taste
    pinch freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste
    2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, or canola oil, divided
    2 Tbl finely chopped shallots
    1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1/4 cup dry white wine
    2 tsp Dijon mustard
    2 tsp reduced-fat sour cream
    2 tsp chopped fresh tarragon

Directions

1. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan. Add shallots; cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add broth and wine and bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half, 2-3 minutes.
3. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan; reduce heat to low. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to plates. Stir mustard, sour cream and tarragon into sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon over the chicken.
