Creamy Chicken Tarragon With Egg Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Let stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
• Heat the oven to 400°F. Put an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and shallots and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chopped tarragon and cook for 1 minute (be careful not to let the garlic brown). Arrange the chicken thighs in the pot in one layer, add the broth and wine, and bring to a simmer.
• Put the lid on and place the pot on the middle shelf of the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 350°F and continue baking for 45 minutes, or until the thighs are tender. Put the thighs on a platter, cover loosely, and keep warm.
• Strain the pan juices through a fine sieve into a saucepan and spoon off any rising fat. Place the pan over medium-high heat, add the crème fraîche and lemon zest, and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish with tarragon leaves, and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil.
• 2. Add shallots to the empty skillet and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until pan is nearly dry, about 3 minutes.
• 3. Add broth and noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and liquid has been absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
• 4. Stir in cream, tarragon, and chicken, along with any accumulated juices, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Season both sides of the chicken with dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven (or large skillet) over medium-high heat. Carefully lower the chicken into the pot and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side to sear (just until they begin to brown slightly). Transfer the still-raw chicken to a plate.
• Reduce the heat under the pot to medium. Add chopped onion and optional mushrooms. Cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Add the wine to deglaze the pan, cooking for about 1 minute more.
• Add the cream and half of the tarragon. Return the chicken to the pot and adjust the heat so that the cream gently simmers. Cover and cook, turning chicken occasionally, until it's firm and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with butter, season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
• Remove chicken pieces from the pot, raise heat to medium-high and continue to simmer the sauce, uncovered, for a few minutes to thicken. Re-season with remaining tarragon and additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Remove about 1 cup of sauce and toss it with the egg noodles. Plate up the noodles, then place the chicken over the noodles and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• 1. Browning the chicken. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large (10 to 12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Using tongs, carefully lower the chicken breasts into the pan and cook them for about 1 minute on each side just until hey begin to brown slightly. Transfer the still-raw chicken to a plate.
• 2. Poaching in cream. Reduce the heat under the skillet to low. Add the shallot and cook, stirring constantly, until softened but not browned, less than 1 minute. Add the vermouth and cook for 30 seconds, then add the cream and half the tarragon. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and adjust the heat so that the cream gently simmers. Cover and cook until the chicken is firm and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. To check for doneness, cut into the thickest part of a breast with a paring knife ¿ there should be no sign of pink or translucence.
• 3. Finishing. Transfer the chicken breasts to a warmed serving platter or individual dinner plates. The sauce should be thick enough to lightly coat a spoon. If it is too thin, continue to simmer it for about 1 minute and it will thicken. Stir in the remaining tarragon and the lemon juice, then taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve right away with buttered egg noodles.

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, then stir in cream cheese, separating bits if necessary.
• Melt butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until foam subsides. Pour egg mixture into skillet and cook, stirring gently, until eggs are creamy and softly set, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
