Tarragon is a great herb for chicken, and a classic pairing in French cuisine. The chicken is quickly pan-fried, then finished with a light tarragon sauce, with white wine and mustard.
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 1 tbs dried chives
- 2 tsp dried tarragon
- 1 tbs Dijon mustard

Instructions:
- Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken and brown well on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
