Geschnetzeltes (Chicken In Cream Sauce) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 shallots, minced
3/4 cup dry white wine
4 ounces button mushrooms, sliced (optional)
1 cup light cream or 1 cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons dried tarragon (or 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped)
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Cut the chicken into thin strips, 2 to 3 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide.
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.
Add the cream and tarragon, and cook until sauce is further reduced by 1/3. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve over noodles or with Dampfkartoffeln (boiled potatoes).
