Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, keeping it warm.
In the same skillet, add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Let the wine reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes, then stir in the chicken stock.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then stir in the heavy cream.
Add the halved grapes, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they are just warmed through.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and let them simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Sprinkle the dish with fresh tarragon before serving.
Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over it, paired with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
