Delicious Tarragon Chicken Recipe for a Cozy Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.

    Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken for a nice sear.
  2. Add Onions and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

    Stir frequently to prevent garlic from burning.
  3. Pour in Chicken Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

    Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits.
  4. Stir in Cream and Tarragon

    Reduce heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and chopped tarragon. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

    Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, add lemon juice if using, and serve warm over rice or pasta.

    Garnish with additional tarragon for presentation.
