Introduction

tasty! tasty!
Number of Servings: 5

Ingredients

    3/4 pkg egg noodles
    3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
    2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large dice
    1 bunch asparagus spears
    1/4-1/3 c white wine
    2 Tbsp Dijon or whole grain mustard (or combination of the two)
    1 tsp dried tarragon
    1/2 c heavy cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 400. Cook noodles according to package directions.

Trim asparagus, toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt & pepper, and place on a cookie sheet (line with foil for easy cleanup). When the oven is preheated, put the asparagus in & cook for about 10 minutes (we had fat spears, adjust cooking time as needed for thinner stalks).

Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet. Toss chicken with salt & pepper, and then throw into the skillet. Saute until chicken is lightly browned, then transfer to a bowl or plate. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, then add in mustard, tarragon, and cream, and season well with salt & pepper. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened. Add the chicken chunks back in, along with any accumulated juices, and heat until chicken is cooked through. Drain pasta & add immediately to the skillet. Cut the asparagus into 1" pieces and add to the pasta, and serve immediately.
