Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken supremes (mine were chicken breasts which I sliced into bite-size pieces so they would cook sooner. I imagine chicken bones would enhance the flavor of this dish).
3 large shallots, sliced
salt and pepper, to taste
1 small clove garlic, minced (I used 3-4 cloves - can't stay away from fresh garlic!)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
*1/2 cup 35% cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard (I used American mustard)
1 tbsp butter at room temperature
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400F. Heat oil in a large, wide skillet over medium high heat. Pat chicken dry with paper towel; season with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet skin-side down and cook 3-5 minutes, or until deep golden. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Transfer to large baking pan and bake 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. (Note: if you're slicing your chicken into pieces, reduce cooking and baking time). 2. To make tarragon sauce: add shallots and garlic to skillet, reduce heat to medium and cook 4 minutes, or until shallots have softened. Add wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil and cook 3 minutes. Strain, reserving liquids and discarding solids. Return liquids to skillet or a small pot, bring to boil and whisk in cream and Dijon. 3. Mash butter and flour together in a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of hot chicken broth mixture and stir until combined (it will be very thick). Add entire mixture back to hot chicken broth and stir until combined. 4. Add chopped tarragon and season with more salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over chicken to serve. Serve with additional mustard, if desired.
