Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour and paprika. Reserve 1 tablespoon of this mixture for later use. Dredge the chicken breasts in the remaining flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chanterelle mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and begin to brown. This process will concentrate their flavor. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

03

Step

Add the remaining butter to the skillet and increase the heat slightly. Place the dredged chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until browned on both sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Cook time: 6-8 minutes, 3-4 minutes per side)

04

Step

Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet with the chicken. Stir in the chicken broth, the reserved 1 tablespoon of flour mixture, Marsala wine, and crushed dried tarragon. Ensure everything is well combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through. The chicken should no longer be pink inside, and the juices should run clear when pierced with a fork. For optimal results, use an instant-read thermometer; the internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). (Simmer time: 18-20 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using a high-quality, aged Marsala wine.
If fresh tarragon is available, use 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon instead of dried for a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
Serve this dish with creamy mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
