ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1⁄2 tablespoon dried tarragon leaves
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- low sodium salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 2 shallots, minced (or 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 1⁄4 cup dry white wine
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
directions
- In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespooons Dijon mustard and 1/2 tablespoon tarragon leaves. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts. Place chicken breasts in a covered dish (or in a plastic zip-lock bag) and keep chilled in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, add the flour to a shallow dish; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour. Brown the chicken on both sides in the heated skillet. Cover, and continue cooking the chicken for about 15 minutes, turn and cook other side about 10 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and juices run clear. Transfer chicken to a platter, and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, sauté the minced shallots (or red onion), garlic, and mushroom slices for about 3 or 4 minutes or until onions are soft.
- Deglaze the pan by adding the wine, cream, mustard and tarragon to the onion/garlic mixture. Stir frequently, scraping the pan to loosen bits of chicken that might remain, and cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken. Return chicken to skillet just long enough (about a minute or so) to coat with the cream sauce.
- Place chicken breasts on individual plates, and drizzle remaining sauce over the chicken.

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
