Instructions

Soak the dried morels in very hot water for 30 minutes.
Remove the morels from the water and rinse them to eliminate any grit.
Place the rinsed morels on a paper towel to dry, slicing the large ones in half and discarding the soaking water.
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four pieces.
Pound each chicken breast between plastic wrap until they are about ½ inch thick.
Season the flour with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp ground pepper in a flat dish.
Heat 2 tbsps of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, and cook until browned and cooked through.
If needed, cook the chicken in batches, adding butter to the skillet as necessary, and keep the cooked chicken warm in a low oven or warming drawer.
Add remaining butter, chopped shallots, and morels to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds being careful not to burn it.
Pour in white wine and let it reduce by half. Add sour cream, heavy cream, lemon juice, tarragon, kosher salt, and pepper to taste.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer gently until the sauce thickens to your preference.
Serve garnished with chopped tarragon.
