Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll be creating:
Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients to make this mouth-watering Tarragon Chicken Sconce Scone:
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons fresh tarragon, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
- ⅔ cup milk
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking!
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it’s nice and hot for the scones.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and chopped tarragon. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the chicken pieces back into the skillet, mixing until well coated in the creamy sauce. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick, then cut out scones using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
- Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve the creamy tarragon chicken over warm scones. Enjoy your delicious meal!
