I have no idea how this is rated so high despite this recipe riddled with typos, incorrect oven temps recommendation, incorrect measurements, missing baking times, confusing instructions and incorrect cooking methods. That said, I was able to seriously alter this to get it to come out pretty dang good. Here's my changes:
Follow steps 1 and 2 (it's important you use thin chicken breast as stated in the recipe). Nothing wrong at all here!
3. Preheat oven to 375 (not 200. Why?! This is totally unnecessary unless you want to significantly increase cooking time). Heat a film of canola oil over high heat and sear chicken on each side for 1-2 mins. until golden brown and slightly crispy (but don't overcook). Then place chicken on an oven pan/cookie sheet and place in the oven for 7-9 mins. My 1/4 inch thick chicken cooked perfectly tender and juicy right at 9 mins.
4. In the meantime, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of minced shallot and sear for 30-45 seconds (not 3). Then add 1/2 cup of dry white or red wine. Boil and stir until it's reduced about half.
5. Add 2 cups of chicken stock and go ahead and add 4 tablespoons of butter (don't add this later as suggested) and boil this for about 5 minutes (it will be VERY thin). Then add 2-3 tablespoons of any type of jelly/preserves/jam you'd like (I used strawberry jam) and continue simmering and sauce will then begin to thicken significantly after a few mins. Add in 1-2 tablespoons of tarragon and continue searing until it gets to your desired thickness.
*If sauce refuses to thicken, you can add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of flour and mix VERY well on a small side skillet to add to the sauce to thicken. I did do this BEFORE I added my jam idea as the "sauce" was nothing more than butter soup after 15 mins of simmering and it was the first thing I tried to save this disastrous recipe. However, once I reverted to using jam, the sugars contained within really did the trick to get this to thicken - plus it added an amazing sweet/salty flavor to this dish!
6. Pour your sauce over the cooked chicken.
While I tried following this recipe to the tee for the first time, the instructions and amounts do NOT produce a thick sauce and was basically buttery water. However, mid-way through, I added in additional butter and added jam as stated to save this from a potential dinner disaster and it turned out VERY tasty! I should also note the original recipe of just butter, shallots, white wine, and chicken stock is very very bland. The jam, jelly, or perseveres really adds in the needed kick of flavor that complements the salty seasoned chicken.
The wife loved it!

Turned out way better than I thought will be making it again very soon

Pretty good, and very easy. I doubled the sauce as suggested and used anise seed instead of tarragon.

Very tasty. I couldn’t find fresh tarragon so used dried. From reading online dried tarragon retains its flavour well. Also didn’t want to open a whole bottle of wine so substituted with cider vinegar.

Turned out really good. Made extra sauce.

Really good, didn’t have sweet paprika so had to use hot, don’t think it harmed the flavour that much, will certainly make again

Great! What a simple, yet tasty complement to the curried chicken breast! My daughter asked that I add some fresh squeezed lemon into the sauce next time. We shall see!

Really good. My first time making it so I may be able to improve. I’m between a 4 and 5 star...giving it a 5 because I’m sure a good chef would have done it better.

This is a go to recipe for me. The sauce delicate, balanced and full of flavor. One of my favorites.

This was so easy and full of interesting flavors. I don't care for tarragon and was afraid it would have a strong presence in the dish, but it didn't. All of the flavors blended beautifully. Will definitely be making this one again.
