Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 Tbsp butter or cooking oil
2 medium shallots, minced
3/4 c dry white wine
4 oz sliced button mushrooms (optional)
1 c light cream or whipping cream
2 tsp dried tarragaon (or 2 tbsp fresh, chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
cooked egg noodles, drained and buttered (optional)

Steps:

1. Cut the chicken into thin strips, 2 to 3 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide.
2. Melt the butter in a frying pan and brown the chicken strips in it. Add the minced shallots when the meat is cooked part-way. When meat is no longer pink, add the wine and mushrooms (if using), and cook until sauce is reduced by 1/3.
3. Add the cream and tarragon, and cook until sauce is further reduced by 1/3. Season with salt and pepper.
4. This is traditionally served over hot, buttered egg noodles with a side dish of Dampfkartoffeln (boiled potatoes).
