Bulgarian Chicken with Tarragon and Lemon
Tender chicken breasts cooked in a creamy sauce infused with the aromatic notes of tarragon and brightened with fresh lemon. This dish is a lighter, herb-forward take on traditional Bulgarian chicken preparations.
🧂 食材
- 4 medium Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup Dry white wine
- 1/2 cup Chicken stock
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Fresh tarragon, chopped
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
💡 專業提示: Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). - 2
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the chopped shallots and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 專業提示: Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan as you cook the shallots and garlic. - 3
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Allow the wine to reduce by about half.
💡 專業提示: Using a dry white wine will add a nice acidity to the sauce. - 4
Add the chicken stock, heavy cream, chopped fresh tarragon, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
💡 專業提示: Fresh tarragon provides a distinct anise-like flavor; dried tarragon can be used, but use less (about 1 tsp). - 5
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to warm through.
💡 專業提示: Do not overcook the chicken at this stage, as it is already cooked. - 6
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the chicken immediately, spooning the creamy tarragon-lemon sauce over the top.
💡 專業提示: This dish is delicious served with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
💡 專業提示
- ✓For a thicker sauce, you can create a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water) and stir it into the simmering sauce until thickened.
- ✓If you don't have shallots, use a small yellow onion.
- ✓Ensure you use fresh tarragon for the best flavor; dried tarragon can be substituted but has a less vibrant taste.
