Chanterelle Chicken Tarragon

The flavors and aromas of chanterelles, tarragon and chicken mix well to make a light and delicate, yet satisfying and nutritious main course, reminding one of northern Italy or southern France.

Serves four.
    6 ounces chanterelle
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons shallots minced
    1 teaspoon garlic minced
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    4 chicken breasts, pounded
    1/4 cup marsala
    2/3 cup chicken broth
    1 tablespoon fresh tarragon
    1/2 cup sour cream
Clean and coarsely chop chanterelles. Melt butter in large sauté pan and add shallots, garlic and chanterelles. Sauté until chanterelles have released their moisture. Continue to sauté until mixture is reduced to almost dry. Remove from pan.

Add olive oil to pan and quickly sauté chicken breasts (about 1 minute per side). Take chicken breast out and deglaze pan with marsala. Return chicken breasts to pan and pour in chicken broth, add chanterelle mixture and tarragon, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes over low heat.

Transfer chicken breasts to serving platter and reduce sauce slightly. Add sour cream and mix well. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

Time required: 20 minutes
