Ingredients


    2 shallots, chopped
    1/4 - 1/2 cup butter
    1/4 - 1/2 bottle Champagne, or other sparkling wine
    1/2 - 1 cup of chicken broth
    1/2 - 1 cup heavy cream
    1/2 teaspoon piment d'espelette (or other pepper spice, cayenne would probably work well)
    1/2 teaspoon tarragon
    4 oz mushrooms




Directions

- Melt about 1/4 cup butter in a skillet large enough to hold the chicken
- When the butter is melted add shallots (and garlic if you like) and brown.
- Add the rest of the butter, then the chicken and brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Pour in the sparkling wine and chicken broth, add a pinch of the tarragon and piment d'espelette and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, as necessary. OR cook for 5 to 10 minutes and finish on the BBQ.
- Remove the chicken, cover and keep warm. Add the cream to the pan along with the rest of the tarragon and piment, bring to a boil and cook to reduce the sauce.
- In the meantime, sauté the mushrooms.
- When the sauce has reduced, stir in the mushrooms.

serve on pasta with either grilled chicken or seafood
