Method
Heat a deep, heavy based frying pan

When smoking hot, add the oil followed by the chicken fillets
Cook until golden and turn, repeat.
Once you’ve good colour on the chicken, lift out onto a clean plate (they will still be raw on the inside)
To the same frying pan add a little more oil followed by the onion and mushroom, season well.
Saute the mushroom & onion until soft then add in the tarragon and de-glaze with red wine.
