1

Prepare the ingredients: chicken breast, shallots, chopped parsley, chopped tarragon, tomatoes, mushrooms, tomato juice, gravy, butter, brandy, white wine, and chicken stockpot.

2

Flour the chicken breast to give it a golden brown color and assist with thickening the sauce.

3

Heat a pan and place the chicken skin side down, cooking it slowly to avoid scorching the flour and to render the fat from the skin.

4

Once the chicken is golden brown, push it to the side of the pan to make room for the shallots.

5

Add the chopped shallots to the pan, allowing them to cook underneath the chicken.

6

Deglaze the pan with brandy, pouring it around the edge to avoid splashing it on the chicken.

7

Add white wine around the edge of the pan, tasting it to ensure the acidity is removed and the sweetness comes through.

8

Add the chicken stockpot to the pan and pour in the tomato juice, bringing the sauce to a boil.

9

In a separate pan, prepare the garnish with mushrooms, diced tomatoes (skin removed), and a generous amount of tarragon.

10

Sprinkle the garnish over the chicken and finish with chopped parsley.
