TM

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
salt and pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedeges
1. Remove tenderloin from each breast. Cut each breast
into 5 strips of approximately the same length as the
tenderloin (about 4-5 inches).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine bake mix, salt and pepper.
Toss strips in mixture, tapping to remove any excess.
3. In a saucepan, boil cream until reduced by half, about
10 minutes.
4. While cream is reducing, heat oil in a large skillet over
medium-high heat until very hot. Cook chicken strips in
batches, about 3 minutes per side (do not crowd the
pan). Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
5. Pour off excess fat in skillet. Add chicken broth and
cook on high heat until reduced by half, scraping up
browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add reduced cream
and cook for another 3 minutes, until sauce thickens.
Stir in tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Serve with chicken and lemon wedges.
This delicate dish makes a sophisticated yet simple appetizer or
main course.
