Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring constantly, unti fully blended, about 2 minutes longer.
- Add the broth and tarragon and bring to a boil, stirring frequently until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken breasts to the pan, pushing them down into the liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the chicken breasts are opaque throughout when cut into with a knife and the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Seriously delicious. I've made it 4-5 times for my family and they love it. Comfort food w/o guilt. Also, I add a few dashes of paprika, an ingredient found in other smothered chicken recipes and we love it.
