Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 8 ounces green beans, trimmed
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and fresh tarragon. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet along with the halved baby potatoes and green beans.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh tarragon if desired.
