Chicken pieces in creamy white pepper sauce, garnished with fresh parsley, served on a black plate with a fork.
Cooking tip: Salting chicken at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours in advance of cooking will improve the flavor and juiciness.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds (32 ounces) raw chicken breast
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon leaf tarragon

Directions:

  1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with oil. Brown chicken breasts on both sides. Reduce heat and cook, covered, 15 minutes, just until chicken is cooked through.
  2. Transfer chicken to a serving platter; tent with foil to keep warm. Add cream to skillet; scraping up brown bits.
  3. Stir in mustard and tarragon. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.
