How to Make Chicken And Asparagus In A Mustard Tarragon Sauce

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  2. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Add butter to the skillet and melt. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in Dijon mustard and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in heavy cream and chicken broth.
  4. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in chopped tarragon.
  5. Add asparagus to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes, to heat through.
  7. Serve immediately over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with extra fresh tarragon if desired.
