Truly a comfort dish. Easy to make for a few or a crowd. Enjoy!.



Tarragon Chicken with Red Wine 


Chicken:
  • 2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • Coarse salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2-3 shallots, chopped
  • 1 carrot chopped into fine dice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 12 crimini (baby portobello) mushrooms, chopped  
  • 4 to 5 sprigs fresh tarragon,  chopped, about 2 tablespoons
  • 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped 
  • 1 1/3 cups good dry red wine, something you like to drink 
  • 1(15-ounce) can chunky style crushed tomatoes or diced tomatoes in puree 
EggNoodles:
  • 3/4 pound extra-wide egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into bits
  • 2 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves chopped, about 1 tablespoon
  • 1-cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped, about 2 tablespoons
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
  
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles.  
Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium high heat brown pieces of chicken in oil for 2 or 3 minutes on each side and remove to a plate.
Return pan to stove and reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the pan and shallots, carrots and mushrooms. Saute 3 to 5 minutes until mushrooms darken and carrot bits are fork tender. Add sugar, tarragon and parsley and stir. Add wine and reduce liquid for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes to your sauce and stir to combine. Add chicken back to the pan and simmer chicken in sauce for 6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
 
Meanwhile, cook the noodles until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl. Toss the noodles with butter, tarragon, parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
 
Serve chicken with buttered egg noodles tossed with fresh herbs. Enjoy!
