Grapes are definitely a different addition to an entree, but they have great flavor, especially when paired with a savory tarragon sauce.—Gail Long, O'Fallon, Illinois

Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked linguine
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup green grapes, halved
2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon

Directions

Cook linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chicken in oil and butter for 5-8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
Add wine to skillet; stir to loosen brown bits. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in cream; cook and stir until thickened. Add the grapes, tarragon and chicken; heat through. Drain linguine. Serve with chicken mixture.
