Instructions
1
Prep
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper on both sides; finely chop the shallot and roughly chop the tarragon.
2
Sear
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat; pan-sear the chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and thickest point reaches 165°F.
3
Sweat
Lower heat to medium, melt butter, and sweat the shallot 2 minutes until softened and translucent.
4
Deglaze
Pour in white wine, scrape up browned bits, and simmer 2 minutes until reduced by half.
5
Finish
Stir in chicken stock, simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened, then stir in cream, tarragon, and lemon juice off the heat; warm cannellini beans 2 minutes in the sauce, return chicken to skillet, and rest 5 minutes before plating.
6
Plate
Slice the chicken, arrange over beans and sauce, top with halved soft-boiled egg, and scatter with tarragon leaves.
