Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup minced green onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • Garnishes
  • lemon slice
  • fresh tarragon sprig

Method

  • Place chicken between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  • Combine 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and white pepper; sprinkle over both sides of flattened chicken.
  • Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook five minutes on each side or until done. Remove from skillet, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Add lemon juice to the skillet, and cook over for thirty seconds, stirring to loosen particles from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Add cream and next five ingredients; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, 4 minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened.
  • I always place the chicken on a serving plate, and then pour the sauce over the chicken. I then garnish with lemon slices and tarragon sprigs.
  • Enjoy!
