- Salt and pepper

Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan.
- Fry the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until they are a lovely golden brown, and no blood is found when the meat around the bone is lifted with the point of a knife, or a meat thermometer reads 170°.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and keep them warm.
- Lightly fry the shallots in the pan until they are just soft. Add tarragon halfway through.
- Add the wine to the pan and bring to the boil, stirring as you do.
- Continue to boil until the liquid is reduced by half. Taste for seasoning.
- Add the chicken stock and continue to boil and reduce by half again, happens quickly so keep an eye on it.
- Now add the cream to the sauce and boil again, adding any juices that may have been released from the chicken breasts and more seasoning if needed.
- Add the grapes, lower the heat and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Slice through the chicken breasts and serve with the sauce accompanied with the grapes and a little fresh parsley to garnish.
- So, so delicious!
Notes
- Take your time with each step, especially during liquid reduction.
- And stir sauce gently.
- Fresh tarragon is better, but dried will be fine if that is what you have.
