Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ½ cup white wine
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
• ½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed

• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into chunks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a shallow bowl. Gently press chicken pieces into flour mixture to coat and shake off any excess flour.

Step 2

Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken and shallot in melted butter until shallot is softened and chicken is cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Pour white wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Step 4

Stir tomatoes and lemon juice into chicken mixture; simmer for 2 minutes, pour in cream. Bring mixture to a boil and cook to reduce liquid to a thicker consistency, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove skillet from heat and stir in tarragon.
