Sarah Butler's Creamy Chicken Tarragon

Chicken and tarragon go so well together, a great combination for this tasty dish. This dish is also really versatile. Serve with potatoes, rice or pasta!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 40 g butter
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 10-12 small mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 tbsp self raising or plain flour
  • ½ pint chicken stock
  • 100 ml fresh cream
  • 1 tbsp dried tarragon or freshly chopped
  • if available
  • 25 g parmesan cheese grated
  • Lemon wedge
  • Salt & freshly ground pepper

Method:

  1. Place chicken breasts in a zip lock bag or between two sheets of cling film and flatten slightly with a rolling pin.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt & freshly ground pepper.
  3. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and 20 g butter to a frying pan on medium-high heat and brown chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and juices run clear, then set aside.
  4. Add 20 g butter to the same frying pan and on a medium-high heat fry mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until browning, add garlic and cook for a further 1 minute.
