Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and lightly dust with a little flour on both sides. Butterfly the chicken breasts if they large and thick so that they cook evenly and quickly.
- seasoning chicken breasts
- Heat butter and oil in a skillet or casserole dish. Brown the chicken over medium heat for a couple of minutes, flipping over once. You want the chicken to be nicely golden but not cooked through. Set aside.
- pan frying chicken breasts in butter
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping any browned bits stuck to the pan loose – these add so much flavor! Simmer until the wine is almost completely cooked down.
- deglazing pan with white wine
- Add the shallots and a bit more butter and sauté, stirring, over low heat until softened. You can use onions instead of shallots if needed.
- pan frying shallots
- Stir in the minced garlic, tarragon and mushrooms and cooke for about five minutes until the mushrooms have softened.
- pan frying mushrooms
- Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until almost cooked through.
