Quick-Simple-Yum Chicken Tarragon!
Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil or 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 large shallots or 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, chopped or 1⁄2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 2.5 lb)
- 1 1⁄2 cups chicken broth (1 14-oz. can)
Directions
- In a non-stick 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots or onions and cook until tender and lightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Mix the salt, tarragon, and 3 TB flour in a flat-bottomed shallow dish. Coat the chicken with this mixture.
- Add the remaining 1 TB oil to skillet and heat until very hot. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, turning once.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and continue cooking about 10 minutes, or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced. Place chicken on 4 dinner plates.
- Pour the broth in a small bowl or 4-cup measure. Use a fork to stir in the remaining 2 TB flour.
- Add the broth to the skillet and heat to boiling over high heat, stirring to loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Boil for at least 1 minute, or until sauce is desired consistency.
- Pour sauce over chicken and serve.
