How to Make Baked Chicken Tarragon

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon (chopped), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) in a baking dish.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each breast is coated.
  5. Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chicken to fully marinate.
  6. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to allow it to come to room temperature.
  7. Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with rice and steamed vegetables.
