Steps:

• Melt butter over medium heat in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add onion and celery; cook 5-6 minutes until vegetables are softened.

• Add tarragon, thyme and pepper; let simmer 10-15 minutes.
• If mixture looks too thin, sprinkle a little flour into it; stir well until flour is incorporated.
• Add chicken breast, mushrooms and almonds; bring to boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and let simmer 5-10 minutes.
• Before serving, add evaporated milk and let heat through. Season with additional salt and pepper and serve with almonds sprinkled on top, if desired.

Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining almonds. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear.
