Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (organic)

1 nob of butter

Flour to dredge

1 c low sodium chicken stock

2 c white wine- anything you like to drink, dryer side is best

8 or so juniper berries, lightly cracked

1 t dried tarragon leaves or more, to taste

Salt & pepper

Directions

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.

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 :)

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?

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?
