Chicken Breasts With Fresh Tarragon Dijon Mustard Pan Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter and heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in the skillet. Brown on both sides. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and continue cooking 15 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear. Set aside and keep warm.
• Stir cream into the pan, scraping up brown bits. Mix in mustard and tarragon. Cook and stir 5 minutes, or until thickened. Return chicken to skillet to coat with sauce. Drizzle chicken with remaining sauce to serve.

Steps:

• Bring 2 cans chicken broth to a boil. Add chicken to the broth, cover and reduce heat to simmer. Poach chicken 12 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and pour broth into a large measuring cup or batter bowl. Return the pan to heat and add butter. When butter melts, add flour and cook, whisking with butter, 2 minutes. Slowly pour cooking liquid back into the pan, until appropriately thickened, combining with a whisk. Stir in Dijon mustard and tarragon and season sauce with salt and pepper. Return chicken to the pan and coat with sauce. Simmer 2 or 3 minutes to heat chicken back through and to combine flavors. Serve with rice pilaf, and roasted squash vegetable medley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and when it is almost smoking, add the chicken breasts, skin side down. Lower the heat to medium and cook the breasts 6-7 minutes, then turn them (they should have an even, golden brown color) and continue cooking for about 5 more minutes. Rotate the skillet if the heat on your burner is uneven, so that you don't get any dark or burned spots, and reduce the heat if the chicken seems to be browning too quickly. When the chicken is cooked, remove it to a platter and keep warm in the oven (don't cover). Pour the excess grease from the pan and deglaze with the stock and vinegar, whisking to scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid bubble briskly in the pan, whisking, until it's reduced to about 1/2 cup, then whisk in the butter, mustard, and tarragon.
• The sauce should have a slightly creamy consistency If it's too acidic, whisk in a little more butter or stock. Remove it from the heat and spoon over the warm chicken breasts. Sprinkle with chives, if desired.

Steps:

• Remove the cooked chicken or pork from the skillet. Working over medium-high heat, add the chicken stock, heavy cream, mustard, and tarragon. Bring up to a bubble and simmer until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the cooked chicken or pork.

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Add shallots to same skillet and sauté 1 minute. Add vermouth and mustard and bring to simmer. Add cream and 1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon. Simmer until slightly thickened, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer until chicken is heated through, about 1 minute.
• Transfer chicken and sauce to platter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon and serve.

Steps:

• Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Cook, skin side down, until brown, about 5 minutes. Turn over; cook 1 minute. Using tongs, transfer chicken to plate.
• Add shallots to same skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add brandy; simmer until liquid is reduced, scraping up browned bits, about 2 minutes. Whisk in broth. Return chicken to skillet, skin side up. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked, about 20 minutes. Transfer to platter; reserve skillet.
• Whisk cream, tarragon, and mustard into same skillet. Increase heat to high; boil until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in an ovenproof pan. Season the chicken breasts, then brown for 1 min on each side. Remove from the pan, then set aside.
• Add the crème fraîche, mustards and tarragon to the pan, stirring to combine everything. Bring to a simmer, then return the chicken to the pan, spooning some of the sauce over the fillets. Lift into the oven, then bake for 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through and sauce bubbling. Great with green beans and rice.
