Cooking Directions

  1. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; saute until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a plate; keep warm.
  2. Pour wine into hot skillet; cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Whisk in cream, mustard, and tarragon. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour any accumulated chicken juices into sauce. Right before serving, drizzle cream sauce over chicken.

Yield: 4 servings

This classic French combination of ingredients also makes an excellent sauce for fish, such as seared salmon and trout.

  • Awesome!

    Very good and very easy! I did not have the spice it called for and I thought it needed a bit of color so I used some dip seasoning mix I had that had a bit of dried spinach in it. It came out great! Even my children who are very picky eaters loved the sauce! We will make it again!

  • Flavorful and Moist; loved it!

    This was an incredibly quick and easy dish. It turned out so moist and flavorful, I'll definitely be making this dish again soon. I've filed it in my "under 30 minutes" recipes. Even my picky 2 year old ate this chicken dish. I didn't have tarragon though so I substituted with dill, dill gave it great color and an extra boost of flavor. We like mustard flavored dishes so I added an extra tablespoon of dijon.

  • Very tasty!

    A very tasty recipe.  It's easy to prepare and doesn't take a lot of time.  While making it I discovered that I didn't have any tarragon ( I was SURE I had some!), so I used herbs de provence instead.  It was very good!  I may try it again with tarragon, but I really liked it with herbs de provence!

  • Loved this dish!

    This dish was great! The sauce is super easy to make and reminds me of a light version of a bernaise sauce. I believe this would be good with pork or steak also. Goes excellent with sauvignon blanc. I will definitely add this to the rotation.
