How to Make Lemon Tarragon Chicken Fettuccini
- Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces) and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until browned.
- Pour the lemon-honey mixture into the skillet with the chicken. Stir to combine.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly (about 1-2 minutes).
- Stir in 1/2 cup shredded carrots and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, until the carrots are tender-crisp.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and extra fresh tarragon (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
