CHICKEN IN A METAXA CREAM SAUCE
Metaxa is a Greek brandy, good chance you won't have it in your drinks cabinet and it's no problem to use another brandy. I have been using Spanish brandy the last few times I made this, but the Metaxa does have a different flavor. If I make this for the two of us I do cut down on the chicken but make the same amount of sauce and serve it with pasta. It is a rich sauce with a distinct flavor. If you should use tarragon as an herb, taste the herb first it can be very strong sometimes and you should use less.

Steps:
- Flatten the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of parchment paper.
- Sprinkle them with lemon juice and then with salt and pepper.

- Then you add the Metaxa bit by bit and let it gently evaporate.
- After that add the cream, let it heat through and thicken a bit.
- If using the herbs, add, mix and serve.
