Tarragon Chicken

Ingredients (serves 2)

• • 2 oz butter

  • 1 shallot (medium sized)

  • 1/3 cup vermouth (or white wine)

  • 2 chicken breasts

  • Heavy pinch of salt

  • 1 tsp chicken stock concentrate

  • 8 oz heavy cream

  • Fresh white pepper, to grind over

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon

Method:

• 1. Heat half of the butter in a frying pan, saute the shallot until slightly caramelized (the sweetness offsets the acidity of the vermouth / wine).

  2. Add the vermouth, and reduce down, then remove the mixture to a separate plate.

  3. Add the remaining butter, and after it has melted and finished foaming, add the chicken breasts, salt them and brown.

  4. Add back the onions, chicken stock, tarragon and cream.

  5. Bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes, until chicken is cooked through
