| Sauteed Chicken in Mustard-Cream Sauce |
| 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 oz each) |
| Coarse salt and fresh-ground pepper |
| 2 Tbsp. olive oil |
| 1/4 c. dry white wine or chicken broth |
| 1/2 c. heavy cream |
| 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard |
| 1 tsp. dried tarragon (or 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh) |
Sprinkle each chicken breast with 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; saute until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a plate; keep warm.
Pour the wine into the hot skillet; cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Whisk in the cream, mustard, and tarragon. Cook whisking, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Pour any accumulated chicken juices into the sauce. Right before serving, drizzle the cream sauce over the sauteed chicken.
