How To Make creamy tarragon chicken breasts

Step 1

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; dredge in flour. Set aside the remaining flour.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides. Remove chicken and keep warm.
Step 3

Add onion to skillet and saute for 1 minute.
Step 4

Add wine to skillet; increase heat to high and cook until liquid is almost evaporated, stirring to loosen browned bits on bottom of skillet.
Step 5

Reduce heat. Add reserved flour, making a thick paste. Add tarragon and chicken broth. Return chicken to skillet. Cover and cook until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 6

Remove chicken breasts to platter. Add remaining butter and heavy cream to the skillet. Heat through; pour creamy tarragon sauce over chicken breasts.
