Ingredients

  • Four 6- to 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallot
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Season the chicken on both sides with the salt and white pepper. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan, and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Increase the heat to high, add the shallot and white wine, and cook for 4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a serving plate.
  • Whisk the mustard and heavy cream into the pan, and bring the sauce to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes, until thickened and bubbly.
  • Add the tarragon and parsley, and remove from the heat. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, and serve immediately.
