Preparation
Roast the potatoes & wilt the spinach
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Halve the potatoes (quarter if large). On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender. Remove from the oven and add the spinach; stir until slightly wilted.
Start the chicken
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 3 to 4 min. per side, until partially cooked. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Pick the tarragon leaves off the stems; finely chop the leaves.
Make the sauce & finish the chicken
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium-high. Sauté the mushrooms, 3 to 4 min., until nicely browned. Add the shallot and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the demi-glace, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions) and the remaining spices; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and return the chicken. Cook, spooning the sauce over, 3 to 4 min., until the chicken* is cooked through and the sauce has reduced. Add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and ½ the tarragon; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the potatoes and spinach between your plates. Top with the chicken and sauce. Garnish with the remaining tarragon. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
