Como fazer Chicken In A Metaxa Cream Sauce

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper and gently flatten to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, then reduce heat to medium and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
Gradually add ½ cup Metaxa (or Spanish brandy) to the skillet, allowing it to evaporate slightly between additions. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
If using, stir in 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon (or less, to taste). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the chicken immediately over your favorite pasta.
