Chicken Cutlets in Dijon-Tarragon Sauce

By gnikylime

The sauce is time-consuming, due to the constant stirring it requires, but it is delicious and very low in fat.

Ingredients

• 4 (4 oz. size) chicken cutlets
• salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 2 shallots, diced
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1-1/2 cup skim milk
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (a French honey dijon like Maille au Miel is the best)
• 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
