Tarragon is a fresh herb whose narrow, soft leaves add delicate anise flavor to the light cream sauce served with this chicken. It's great for all seasons, but adds a perfect counterpoint to the fall flavors found in the miso-roasted carrots and pearl onions. With so much umami goodness on one plate, you won't believe such a delicious and satisfying meal is also low in calories and carbs.

-
1 Prepare the Ingredients
Stem and coarsely chop tarragon. Peel, trim, and cut carrots into 1/2" diagonal slices. Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
-
2 Start the Carrots
Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and pearl onions to hot pan and cook until vegetables begin to brown, 3-4 minutes. Whisk together miso, sugar, and 1/3 cup water in a small bowl.
-
3 Finish the Carrots
Add miso-sugar mixture to pan, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until carrots are tender, 4-6 minutes. Remove cover, raise heat to high, and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid reduces to a sticky glaze, 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with half the tarragon (reserve remaining for sauce). Cover and set aside. While carrots cook, start chicken.
-
4 Cook the Chicken
Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in another medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken to hot pan and cook until chicken is browned and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side. Remove to plate, cover loosely with foil, and rest 5 minutes. Discard excess fat from pan and reserve; no need to wipe clean.
-
5 Make the Tarragon Sauce
Return pan used to cook chicken to medium-high heat. Add evaporated milk and 1 tsp. tarragon to pan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste, and add more tarragon if desired.
-
6 Plate the Dish
Spoon sauce on plate and serve chicken over sauce. Arrange carrots and pearl onions next to chicken.
