Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Shallots (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 pieces Carrots (sliced into thin rounds)
• 200 grams Green beans (trimmed)
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sliced carrots to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the green beans and continue cooking for another 3 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, chopped tarragon, and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce and vegetables over them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to reheat the chicken.

Step 10

Serve the tarragon chicken with the vegetables and sauce. Garnish with additional tarragon leaves if desired.
