How to Make Chicken Breasts With Dijon Tarragon Sauce
- Bring 1 cup chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Add 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total) to the broth. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 12 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken from broth and set aside on a plate. Pour broth into a large measuring cup or bowl.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and melt completely.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the reserved chicken broth until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (or 1 teaspoon dried), and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken breasts to the sauce, coating them evenly.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through and the flavors to meld.
- Serve immediately with your favorite vegetables or side dish.
