Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over low heat. Cook the diced onion for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking over medium heat for 5 minutes longer. Add the minced garlic and cook for half a minute. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.

To the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and the chicken pieces. Brown the chicken on the outside; it doesn't need to be cooked through at this point. Add the chopped tarragon.

Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and stir until coated. Gradually stir in the chicken stock, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens for a couple of minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
