When I roast a whole chicken, my favorite ingredients to add while roasting are a herb butter (usually parsley or tarragon) and lemons. So this recipe encompasses all those flavors – plus butter and cream! If you’re following a low-carb-high-fat diet – this dish is particularly good for you!

Add butter and a little oil to a skillet and place over a medium-high heat. When melted and sizzling, add some chicken breast chunks (or strips, if you prefer) and some chopped fresh tarragon. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, turning regularly.

Add heavy cream to the pan and let it bubble up. Reduce the heat and let it simmer and reduce for five minutes.

Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to season.

This lemon tarragon chicken dish would wonderful served with some shirataki rice, some steamed green beans or some roasted broccoli!
