Ingredients:

Serving

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper , to taste
3 tbsp chopped shallots
1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 cup heavy cream
fresh lemon juice , to taste (optional)
chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (to garnish )

Directions:

In a large sauté pan or fry pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
When hot, add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and sauté until cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a warmed plate and keep warm.
Pour off any excess fat from the pan and place the pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and sauté, stirring, until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the tarragon and cream, increase the heat to medium and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up any browned bits from the pan bottom and blending well. Cook, stirring, until bubbling and thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Return the chicken to the pan and turn each breast several times in the sauce until well coated and hot.
Transfer the chicken to a warmed serving plate or individual plates and spoon the remaining sauce over the chicken.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
