directions

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
  • Heat oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Add chicken, and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add shallots to the pan. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add wine and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer until reduced slightly, about 3 minutes.
  • Add broth, and bring to a simmer.
  • Return the chicken to the pan.
  • Add carrot, mushrooms and tarragon sprigs. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm. Discard tarragon sprigs.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Simmer the cooking liquid for 2-3 minutes to intensify flavor.
  • Add cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in sour cream, mustard, and chopped tarragon.
  • Serve immediately.
