This Creamy Mustard & Tarragon Chicken is my ultimate comfort food. It’s creamy – a must for any comfort food, I’m sure you’ll agree! It also makes great use of my favorite herb: aniseedy French tarragon. Finally, it adds not one but two types of mustard to create a delicious meal in just 30 minutes.
Start by cooking the chicken. To make a creamy sauce, add crème fraîche, mustards and tarragon to the pan and combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer, before returning the chicken to the pan and spooning the sauce over the fillets. Transfer to the oven to finish cooking. I usually serve this with steamed greens and wholegrain rice.
To make Creamy Mustard & Tarragon Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 390 °F.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil in an ovenproof pan.
Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken breasts on each side for about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add a tub of crème fraîche, ½ a tablespoon each of Dijon and wholegrain mustard along with 2 sprigs of tarragon to the pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the pan with the sauce and spoon some of the sauce over each of the fillets. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 20 minutes.
Serve this with wholegrain rice and steamed greens.
