Description

This elegant yet simple chicken dish celebrates the fresh, anise-like notes of tarragon paired with the bright bite of parsley. The chicken breasts are dredged in a seasoned flour mixture and pan-seared until golden, then simmered in a delicate white wine reduction infused with garlic and bouillon. The result is tender, juicy meat bathed in a silky, herbaceous sauce that is rich in flavor but light on the palate. It is perfect for a sophisticated weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. The cooking method ensures the chicken remains moist while the herbs infuse every bite with aromatic freshness.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Romano cheese, flour, paprika, and ground black pepper to create the dredge mixture.
  2. Pat the boneless chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then coat both sides thoroughly with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and brown slowly on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden.
  4. While the chicken browns, mix 3/4 cup white wine, fresh tarragon, chicken bouillon crystals, and the crushed garlic clove in a small bowl.
  5. Pour the wine mixture over the browned chicken in the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of white wine, chopped fresh parsley, and cornstarch until smooth.
  8. Pour the wine and cornstarch mixture into the hot juices remaining in the skillet. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  9. Pour the thickened herb sauce over the chicken on the serving platter and serve immediately.
