Steps:
- If chicken breasts are quite thick, pound them with a meat mallet or other heavy object until they are about 3/4 inch thick.
- Finely chop the tarragon leaves.
- Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy frying pan just big enough to hold all the chicken without crowding. While oil heats, season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken and sautè until chicken is cooked through and well-browned, about 10 minutes.
- Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Add chicken stock to pan, scraping off any browned bits, and cook until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
- Whisk in mustard, tarragon, half and half (or heavy cream) and any juices from the chicken which have accumulated on the plate.
- Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes more.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on a platter and drizzle the sauce over each piece of chicken.
- Garnish with a few tarragon leaves and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring 2 cans chicken broth to a boil. Add chicken to the broth, cover and reduce heat to simmer. Poach chicken 12 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and pour broth into a large measuring cup or batter bowl. Return the pan to heat and add butter. When butter melts, add flour and cook, whisking with butter, 2 minutes. Slowly pour cooking liquid back into the pan, until appropriately thickened, combining with a whisk. Stir in Dijon mustard and tarragon and season sauce with salt and pepper. Return chicken to the pan and coat with sauce. Simmer 2 or 3 minutes to heat chicken back through and to combine flavors. Serve with rice pilaf, and roasted squash vegetable medley.
