You’ll need:

• 1 pound chicken breast tenders
• small amount of flour, for dredging
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1/2 a small onion
• 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced on a diagonal
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup dry cooking sherry or white wine
• 1/4 cup dried tarragon

Here’s how to make it:

1. Spread flour on a flat work surface. Dip chicken in flour on both sides, set aside, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add oil. When hot, add chicken in a single layer and brown on one side. Turn chicken over, continue cooking until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
3. Add mushrooms, onion and celery to skillet. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add broth, sherry and tarragon, and raise heat to high. Cook and stir until sauce is reduced and thickened to a few tablespoons, about 2 minutes.
5. Return chicken to the pan and stir gently to coat with the sherry glaze.
