- 1 1/4 lb Boneless Chicken breast or Thighs, cut in pieces
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp White Pepper
- 1/4 cup AP Flour
- 4 TB Butter; Divided
- 1/2 cup Leeks, Chopped

DIRECTIONS
- Cut the chicken into even chunks
- Season the flour with Salt and pepper, then lightly coat the chicken with the flour; reserve remaining seasoned flour for thickening the sauce later.
- Heat 2 TB butter in skillet; add chicken and brown on all sides. (Dredge and Sauté)
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Melt the remaining butter and add Leeks, saute for 1 minute before adding the Garlic and Mushrooms; cook until almost tender. (Cook Aromatics)
- Stir in reserved flour and toss to coat vegetables, continue to cook until a light nutty aroma signals that the flour is browned and not still “raw”, before adding Pinot Grigio and Chicken Stock, cooking until slightly thickened. (Add Liquid)
- Return chicken pieces, cover and simmer until tender, about 12 minutes.
- Add Sour Cream, Tarragon and Nutmeg to the skillet; heat but do not boil. (Finish Sauce)
- Spoon over drained Egg noodles and serve.
- Sprinkle with Paprika or more Tarragon if desired for a little color.
