How to Make Another Chicken In Tarragon Mustard Cream Sauce Recipe

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  2. Season 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet in a single layer and cook, turning once, until browned (4-5 minutes).
  3. Transfer the chicken to a plate using a slotted spoon. Remove excess fat from the skillet.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (4-5 minutes).
  5. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallot and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  6. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons (about 4 minutes).
  7. Stir in 1 cup chicken stock, 1 cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. Bring to a boil.
  8. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 6 minutes).
  9. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Simmer over moderate heat until the chicken is cooked through (2-3 minutes).
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped. Serve immediately over buttered egg noodles.
