Drain all but 1 Tbs fat from the skillet. Add shallots and saute until brown, about 2 minutes.

Add the wine and de-glaze the pan, (scrape up the good bits with a wooden spoon). Continue to cook until wine is reduces by half. Add the mustard, tarragon, and cream. Stir gently until well mixed.

Put the chicken breasts back into the skillet, bring to a simmer for 5 more minutes spooning sauce over the chicken while it cooks. Serve with sauce over the top and fresh trarragon for garnish.
