CHICKEN MEDALLIONS IN WHITE WINE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Combine the salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a zip closure bag.
• Very lightly oil the chicken with olive oil.
• Sprinkle the mixture liberally over all sides of the chicken and press into the meat.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium high heat.
• Sear the chicken for a minute or so on all sides, sprinkle with Tarragon.
• Add ¼ cup of chicken broth to the skillet (to prevent smoking in the oven and keep meat moist).
• Transfer skillet to preheated oven and roast chicken for about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove skillet from oven; transfer chicken to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil and allow meat to rest. You can prepare up to this point and hold the meat under the foil for 35- 45 minutes if needed.
• Do not wash skillet or discard the roasting juices and bits. With skillet still hot, add the chopped onion and cook for a minute or so. Add ½ cup chicken broth to the skillet, scraping all the caramelized juices and bits with a spoon.
• Add the wine and bring to a boil to reduce the volume of the sauce by about half.
• If holding the final preparation, stop at this point, cover skillet, and turn heat off.
• Just before serving, slice the chicken into ¾" to 1" medallions.
• Return skillet to medium high heat, add about 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to the sauce and allow it to melt, taste and if needed adjust with a pinch or salt or pepper.
• Return the medallions to the hot pan and gently warm them in the sauce until completely cooked.
• Remove the medallions to warmed platter or serving plate, pour sauce over them, and serve.
