5. Remove the breasts from the skillet and set aside
6. Add the olive oil and onion and cook until the onion is brown and translucent, about 3 minutes
7. Add the vinegar and lemon juice and bring to a light simmer
8. Allow about half of the liquid to evaporate, then add the coconut cream, chicken broth, and mustard
9. Stir everything together in the skillet, return the chicken breasts to the skillet, then reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer
10. Allow the sauce to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes
11. You may need to remove the skillet from the heat momentarily to help the process along
12. Sprinkle in the tarragon, then fold the tarragon and chicken into the sauce
