We have a confession to make...we have never cooked with fresh tarragon. So, when we discovered this recipe we HAD to make it. Fresh Tarragon was a little hard to find and after much running around we found it at the local Save Mart.  Tarragon has an aromatic property reminiscent of anise and that combined with the Dijon mustard makes this dish heavenly.

Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with paprika and season with salt and pepper. Heat STAR Extra Virgin Olive Oil in skillet on medium high. Cook chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove from skillet and transfer to a large plate. Cover and set aside.
