This creamy sauce is a classic with chicken - and while tarragon is the traditional herb, thyme or rosemary would also work beautifully. Serve with sauteed string beans and wild rice.

Ingredients

Serves:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat (1-1 1/4 pounds total)

1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste

3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil, divided

1/4 cup finely chopped shallots

1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Directions

1. Season chicken on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.

2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan. Add shallots; cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and wine and bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

3. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan; reduce heat to low. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a warmed platter. Stir mustard, sour cream and tarragon into sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon over the chicken.
