How to Make Chicken Breasts With Tarragon Grape Wine Sauce

  1. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of wax paper. Using a meat mallet, gently pound each breast to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
  2. Remove wax paper and sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast with 1 teaspoon of chopped tarragon, salt, and pepper.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  5. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  6. Add the minced shallot and the remaining 1 teaspoon of chopped tarragon to the skillet with the chicken drippings.
  7. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until the shallot begins to soften.
  8. Add the halved grapes, white wine, and heavy cream to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  9. Spoon the sauce generously over the chicken breasts. Serve immediately over cooked couscous or rice, if desired.
