Tarragon Chicken

Tarragon chicken - is it than intense, laborious French tarragon Chicken.. No! Does it have the same flavour?? Absolutely yes... In less than half the cooking and cleaning time it would take me otherwise, I came up with this classy dish for quick, weeknight entertainment and dinners.



Ingredients:
Chicken Breast
Fresh Tarragon
Dried Tarragon
Some Butter
Some regular oil
Salt
Black Pepper Powder
Some Vodka
Chicken or Vegetable Broth/Warm Water
An egg
Some plain white flour
Couple of cloves of minced garlic
Some cream
Some Dijon Mustard
Crushed red pepper(optional)

Method:
1. Cut the chicken breast in half and pound it into thin cutlets. This ensures cooking time speeds up.
2. In a deep dish, mix an egg with some salt, dried thyme, black pepper powder and crushed red pepper.
3. In another deep dish, mix some flour with salt and pepper.

4. Now dunk the chicken cutlet in the flour, then egg and then flour again, shown in the video.
5. Then shallow fry it in a pan, with some oil and butter - about 3-5 minutes each side.
6. After the chicken cutlets are cooked, use the same pan and add some minced garlic, fresh chopped tarragon, dried tarragon, pepper and salt. Saute for a few seconds.
7. Deglaze the pan with some chicken/vegetable broth or water. Add some dijon mustard and vodka to the pan. Let the mixture come to a bubble. Please refer to the video for the sauce technique.
8. Once the mixture has reduced to half, turn off the gas and add some cream.
9. Serve sliced chicken breast cutlets and spoon over the sauce in a big platter.
