Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 dash ground pepper
  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 4 fl oz dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 tsps or 1 packet dijon mustard
  • 4 oz reduced fat sour cream
  • 1 tbsp ground tarragon

Directions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add them to the pan in a single layer.
  • Sauté the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, place the asparagus in a microwave safe bowl with a splash of water and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave the asparagus on high until it is just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Lower the heat and add the onions. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Add wine to the pan, turn heat to medium and reduce the wine until it is almost completely evaporated.
  • Add chicken broth and reduce it by half. Whisk in the mustard, sour cream, and tarragon and stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Add the chicken and asparagus to the sauce to heat them for a minute or two.
  • Transfer the chicken and asparagus to a platter. Sprinkle with a little tarragon if using fresh.
