Creamy Mustard and Tarragon Chicken

Ingredients

⅓ cup all-purpose flour

salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

4 (5 ounce) skinless

boneless chicken breast halves

¼ cup finely chopped red onion

½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

½ cup dry white wine

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons sour cream

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Place the flour in a shallow dish and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and dredge each in the flour.

Step 2

Cook the chicken in the hot oil and butter until golden about 3 minutes. Flip chicken and brown on the other side 3 additional minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and tent with foil.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium. Stir the red onion into the oil and butter that remains in the skillet. Cook until softened 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the chicken broth into the pan and simmer while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour in the wine and bring back to a simmer. Cook the sauce until reduced by half about 3 minutes. Return chicken to the pan along with any juices that have accumulated. Simmer chicken in the sauce until it is cooked through and no longer pink in the center 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a warmed platter.

Step 4

Whisk the mustard and sour cream into the sauce; stir in the tarragon. Spoon sauce over chicken to serve.
