Karlyn's Tarragon Chicken

We had Tarragon Chicken this evening for Alyssa's birthday. We all really enjoy it and we hadn't had it in quite a while. I checked with Karlyn to be sure it was ok to post the recipe :)

2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. oil
4 skinless chicken breasts (pounded out, cut into smaller pieces)
3/4 cup dry white cooking wine
2 tsp. dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. fresh chopped tarragon or 1 tsp. dried tarragon
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup heavy cream (I use light cream or half and half)

In a large frying pan, melt butter and oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning once until lightly browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove.

Add wine to the pan. Bring to a boil, scraping up the brown bits. Stir in mustard, tarragon, salt and pepper to taste.

Whisk in cream and boil until mixture thickens slightly, about three minutes.

Return chicken to pan, turn in sauce to coat. Simmer 5-10 minutes until chicken is tender.

Serve with either buttered noodles (kid's favorite) or white rice (parent's favorite).

YUMMY!!
