ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions
- Place chicken between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Combine 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and white pepper; sprinkle over both sides of flattened chicken.
- Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook five minutes on each side or until done. Remove from skillet, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Add lemon juice to the skillet, and cook over for thirty seconds, stirring to loosen particles from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add cream and next five ingredients; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, 4 minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened.
- I always place the chicken on a serving plate, and then pour the sauce over the chicken. I then garnish with lemon slices and tarragon sprigs.
- Enjoy!

Warsaw, IN
I am a high school history teacher who loves to cook! I worked in the restaurant industry for seven years, starting in high school and later as I put myself through college. My husband, a police officer, loves to eat my food, so I love experimenting with new recipes. Food and cooking is one of my life's greatest passions! I love collecting cookbooks as well, and I have collected quite a few over the years.
