4 servings

Active Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

INGREDIENTS

·                                 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

PREPARATION

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.
