Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes and how to make them.
Ingredients2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried tarragon or oregano
Directions
Add olive oil to a large skillet and preheat over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet and saute until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Pour chicken broth into hot skillet. Whisk in the cream, mustard and tarragon or oregano. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.
Let's Dish
I found this recipe in a newly purchased cookbook, Everyday Food: Great Food Fast (from the kitchen's of Martha Stewart Living). It's my new favorite cookbook. I love it so much I subscribed to Everyday Food magazine. This chicken is a perfect example of the kind of recipes that are featured in the Everyday Food cookbooks and magazine. Quick, simple and delicious. I almost always have the ingredients on hand for this recipe, which is great for the nights I haven't really planned anything for dinner and don't want to spend a lot of time figuring out what to cook. It's not a bad idea to double the sauce, as that gives you plenty for the chicken, plus some left to spoon over a side of rice.
Who Dished It Up First
Martha Stewart, in her Everyday Food series of recipes.
I love tarragon in a sauce. It's such a nice change, and I don't see it used often. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! I just bought dijon mustard too.
ReplyDeleteI just gave this recipe to a friend on Wednesday except mine also has a spoonful of honey in the sauce. I can vouch for how good the recipe is.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm! This sounds so tasty!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks delicious! I used to make something similar, but I haven't made it in ages.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delish! I will have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, Danelle, and I now also copied THIS recipe of yours! I should just leave my laptop open to your blog, and cook from your recipes! ;)
ReplyDeleteBest,
Gloria
I just added this to my "must make" list! Sounds delicious and super simple!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous recipe! I made it recently and my husband and I instantly loved it. I've since made it two or three more times. The sauce is so rich, creamy, and flavorful. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI made this last night for dinner. It was delicious! I doubled the sauce because my husband likes lots of sauce, he enjoyed it so much he almost licked the plate!
ReplyDeleteI had a dish like this at a wonderful restaurant recently and have been wanting to figure out how to make it at home. Now I can! YUM
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Just made this for dinner and we LOVED it! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteJust made this for my boyfriend, I was looking for something quick and easy and this turned out amazing! I seared the chicken in a stainless steel pan and the chicken turned out caramelized crispy! The boyfriend loved it, served it with asparagus, mushrooms and snow peas! SO GOOD! Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you and your boyfriend liked it. It's one of my favorites too!
ReplyDeleteI like to cook with things I already have in the house and unfortunately I don't have heavy cream on hand. Do think if I use a can of campbells cream of chicken soup as a substitute that it would work? Well i''m going to try it tonight and see how it works, but I think next time I'll try it the recipe as is.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing, but the recipe says to preheat the oven... And then the oven isn't used?
ReplyDeleteI'm confused.
Tamara, the recipe is referring to pre-heating the skillet with the oil on the stovetop, not preheating the oven.
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight and loved it! My only issue, the sauce was a bit thinner than yours. I'm new to the kitchen...did I just not cook it long enough? Will definitely make this again!
ReplyDeleteMade this for supper! Delish!!

ReplyDeleteI just made this for dinner for my BF and it was amazing! Thanks so much, I'll definitely be back on here looking for more great recipes :)
ReplyDeleteYUM, this was fabulous! My son put the sauce on everything, not just the chicken! Added capers.
ReplyDeleteI thought about adding capers... Think I will next time!

ReplyDeleteI made this last night. It was a fast and yummy chicken recipe. Which I love!
ReplyDeleteSoooo good and warm and yummy on a day you do not feel like spending a whole lot of time on dinner, but want a home cooked meal...I served with chicken rice and it was received well by my hubby, 1 year old, 5 year old, and 8 year old. Thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteI made this last night- it was really good and my boyfriend said he loved the sauce! (I overlooked the chicken a bit or he probably would not have made the distinction of only loving the sauce :P) I will definitely make this again. thanks!
