Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
1/4 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 to 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh French tarragon
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

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.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON



Roast Chicken With Tarragon image

Provided by Barbara Kafka

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 5-pound chicken
1 lemon, halved
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 bunches fresh tarragon ( 3/4 ounce each); stem one of the bunches and leave the other intact
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Remove fat from the crop and cavity of the chicken. Remove the neck, gizzards and liver and freeze for another use.
  • Squeeze half the lemon all over the skin of the chicken. Season the skin with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the remaining half lemon, garlic and 1 bunch whole tarragon.
  • Put the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up, and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the juices run clear. During the first few minutes, either shake the chicken or move it frequently with a wooden spoon to keep it from sticking.
  • When chicken is done, tilt it over the roasting pan to let the cavity juices run into the pan. Remove the chicken to a platter. Pour off the fat from the roasting pan.
  • Put the pan on top of the stove. Add the wine and bring the contents of the pan to a boil, while scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Stir in tarragon leaves. Let simmer 5 minutes once the pan is thoroughly deglazed. Serve the pan juices over the chicken or pass it separately in a sauce boat.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the chicken is done.
  • To make the tarragon cream sauce, use fresh tarragon leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can use dried tarragon, but use half the amount.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

This crusted baked chicken with tarragon cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, the crust is crispy and flavorful, and the tarragon cream sauce is rich and creamy. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home.
