1 tablespoonButter
1 tablespoonolive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 tablespoonsDijon mustard; divided
1/2 cupFlour
salt and pepper; to taste
1/2 cupWhite wine
1 cupHeavy cream
2 teaspoonsfresh tarragon; chopped

Dijon-tarragon Cream Chicken Preparation

1. Melt the butter and heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and smear with 2 Tablespoons of the Dijon mustard. Dredge in flour and place in the skillet. Brown on both sides. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and continue cooking 15 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear. Set aside and keep warm.

2. Stir wine into the pan, scraping up brown bits. Add cream, mix in mustard and tarragon. Cook and stir 5 minutes, or until thickened. Return chicken to skillet to coat with sauce. Drizzle chicken with remaining sauce to serve.

Notes

The original recipe did not coat the chicken with mustard or flour or use wine to deglaze the pan. I also doubled the amount of sauce. These steps were suggested in several of the reviews and I concur.

I loved it! Broiler time was up to 9 minutes per side for thicker pieces of chicken breast.
