Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ⅓ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular all-purpose flour if not gluten-sensitive
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup apricot brandy
  • ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and dried tarragon leaves.
  • Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Carefully add the apricot brandy to the skillet and ignite with a long match or lighter to flambe the chicken.
  • Allow the flames to die down naturally.
  • Once the flames have subsided, add the chicken broth to the skillet.
  • Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
  • Stir the sour cream into the skillet, warming it through and incorporating it into the sauce.
  • Serve the chicken breasts topped with the brandied sauce.
