Ingredients

4 boned/skinned chicken breasts halves (about 5 oz each)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper or to taste

2 tablespoons of olive oil, butter or margarine

1 teaspoon finely snipped chives or the green part of a scallion

2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley

1/3 cup dry white wine

2 tablespoons finely chopped French tarragon leaves (or 2 teaspoons of dried, crumbled)

Directions

Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of waxed paper and gently pound with a meat mallet or bottom of a heavy skillet until about 1/2-inch thick.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet (heavy, non-stick) over medium heat until bubbly. Add chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook about 10 minutes, turning occassionally, or until almost opaque in center and golden on both sides.

Remove to serving plates. Sprinkle with the chives and parsley.

Add the wine (and tarragon if using dried) to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring in any brown bits on the bottom, until reduced to about 3 tablespoons.

Stir in the fresh tarragon.

Spoon over the chicken.

NOTES-Goes well with steamed rice and peas on the side.
