Très Rapide French Summer Tarragon Chicken
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon nut oil, such as walnut oil
- 1 chicken breast, boned (with skin or skinless)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- creme fraiche, to taste
- lemon juice, to taste
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- fresh tarragon leaves (to garnish)
- Cut your chicken breast into smallish pieces, I like to cut mine into fingers about 1/2" wide and 3" long -- you can also dice it into cubes if you wish.
- Heat the butter and oil until sizzling but not brown, add the chopped tarragon and chicken pieces immediately (skin side down if using chicken with skin) and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the chicken is sticky and a nice caramel colour; the butter will have browned by now, but that is fine as long as it does not burn. Turn the chicken over and cook another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add some creme fraiche to your own requirements - I use about 2 tablespoons, but you can add more later. Allow to bubble for about 2 minutes and then add some lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper and adjust the consistency if you want it creamier.
- Serve with fresh tarragon leaves scattered over the top and a side salad with French dressing. Bon appetit!
