CHICKEN PAILLARDES & MUSHROOMS IN CREAMY COGNAC DIJON SAUCE

• Add the Cognac and the wine to the pan and deglaze, stirring to scrape up the brown bits. Now add the sliced mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to soften and the sauce is reduced by half.
• With a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms to the plate of chicken, and keep warm.
• Whisk in the cream, mustard and tarragon to the sauce and cook, continuing to whisk, about 2 minutes until thickened. Pour any juices that have accumulated on the plate into the sauce and whisk to combine.
