For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Simply debone and dice after cooking. A splash of dry sherry or white wine added with the chicken broth can elevate the sauce. If you don't have crème fraîche, sour cream or mascarpone cheese can be substituted. Adjust the amount of jalapeno to control the heat level. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. This dish is also excellent served over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Season the chicken strips generously with salt. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
Step
6 mins
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook until the outside is lightly browned but the inside remains slightly underdone, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. (Cook time: 4-6 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Reduce heat to medium. Add the green onions, diced red bell pepper, and jalapeno to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
04
Step
8 mins
Increase the heat to high. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan. Cook until the liquid is almost entirely evaporated. Stir in the heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 6 to 10 minutes. (Cook time: 6-10 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
While the sauce simmers, cut the slightly cooled chicken into evenly sized cubes. Add the cubed chicken, along with any accumulated juices, to the creamy sauce. Stir in the crème fraîche. Cook until the chicken is heated through and no longer pink in the center, about 3 to 7 minutes more. (Cook time: 3-7 minutes)
06
Step
1 mins
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle warmth. Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh tarragon. (Prep time: 1 minute)
07
Step
0 mins
Spoon the creamy chicken mixture generously over the prepared toast. Serve immediately and garnish with additional green onions, if desired.
