Chicken Tarragon — Lynn’s Recipes

Lynn demonstrates how to make Chicken Tarragon. This is a delicious main dish and an impressive dish to serve company. This can be doubled if you are serving more people. From Sara Moulton

1 pound of chicken cutlets, or you can pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even thickness
Salt and Pepper
2 Tablespoons flour, (I used more – use your own judgement, according to how much chicken you use)
¼ cup butter
¼ cup shallots, chopped
¼ cup white wine
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
¾ cup chicken broth
1 Tablespoon heavy cream

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour. Reserve flour. In a large skillet, heat 3 Tablespoons butter, add chicken and brown on both sides. Transfer to a plate. Add shallots to skillet and sauté briefly. Add wine. Cook until nearly evaporated. Add reserved flour, stir and cook 3 minutes. Sprinkle with tarragon and add chicken broth. Return chicken to pan and simmer 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add 1 Tablespoon of butter and 1 Tablespoon cream to pan, heat and pour over chicken.

    Hello Lynnsrecipes , please can you le tell me is that double cream your using ?? Really won't to cook this for dinner this eve . Many thank you's from the uk x

  9. lynnsrecipes

    I used heavy cream. It may be the same as double cream, but you can use whatever cream you want. If you don't happen to have cream, just use half and half or milk. It may not be as creamy, but would work fine. I hope this helps and that you enjoy the chicken.

    Lynn, I enjoy your recipes, have watched many of your vids.  I do have a suggestion however.  I find it hard to hear many of your vids, perhaps you could turn that volume up a bit…
    thanks, Cape.

    I was concerned that you were not showing or mentioning that you were using a clean plate to serve the cooked 'dish' on. I cringed, not knowing for certain that it wasn't going back on the 'raw chicken' plate. Also, why didn't you use fresh tarragon in the sauce? It looses a lot of it's natural flavor when dried!

  17. Anina Davis

    Thanks for responding. I feel much better now. I'm always surprised at the number of people who are not careful about using a different plate from the original. My friend's tarragon froze during the winter. I can rarely find the fresh anywhere! I do have some dried that I can use with the recipe. It does sound delicious!
