How To Make tarragon chicken
-
Step 1If I am making this dish for a regular everyday dinner I cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. But if I am serving guests then I leave them whole and serve them with some of the sauce drizzled on top and the rest on the side. If using fresh mushrooms; slice them.
-
Step 2In a saucepan over medium heat add the butter, olive oil, garlic, fresh mushrooms (if using fresh), onion and chicken. Saute, stirring frequently till chicken starts to brown.
-
Step 3Using a slotted spoon remove chicken from pan. Add the flour to the pan and stir for a minute. Start adding the milk slowly while stirring to prevent any lumps from forming.
-
Step 4Return the chicken to the pan and add the tarragon, bouillon and canned mushrooms (if using canned), salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer stirring 2 or 3 times till chicken are well cooked and tender; about 30 minutes.

Step 5About 5 minutes before serving add the cream and heat back up. Serve over white rice or pasta with sauce ladled on top.
