Chicken In A White Wine Reduction With Tarragon And Juniper Berries Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Melt butter over med-high heat
  • Dredge chicken in flour
  • Saute chicken in butter until each side lightly browned
  • Remove chicken from pan
  • Add stock & wine, scrub browned bits off bottom of pan.
  • Bring to a boil & simmer 2 minutes
  • Add tarragon & juniper berries and return chicken to pan
  • Cook chicken about 6 mins each side, remove from pan & set aside
  • Bring liquid to a boil and reduce for 6 minutes or so.
  • Pop chicken back in & toss to warm up (30 seconds or so)
  • Plate and serve with sauce.
  • **Note** Dredging is not necessary- they brown just fine on their own, but my husband likes the texture better with the flour coating.

    Sue- I use dried juniper berries and crack them a bit between two soup spoons before using. They're hard to find, but higher end markets or spice shops will carry them. I live in a fairly big and ethnic metropolis, and I've never seen them fresh. I wonder how that would change the flavour- do you cook from fresh berries?

    Once I saw the juniper berries in the title I had to take a peek at this recipe! What a unique combination. Perhaps a silly question, but have you been able to find the berries in the market, or are you harvesting your own?

    Mmmm -- juniper berries!! Love them!
    I make something similar, pork with Tanquery No. 10, but the wine (and chicken) sound like they'd be right up my alley :)
    Thanks HollyMayB :)
