Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Flour for dredging
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 2/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
- Fresh chopped parsley, for serving optional
Instructions
- Cut your chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and garlic powder, then coat them in the flour.
- Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes/side until golden. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Add the wine to the pan and let it bubble for about a minute. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the remaining butter and the tarragon to the pan, and continue simmering for another 2 minutes.
- Add the cream and chicken back into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened up a bit. Season with extra salt & pepper as needed and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using.
