In large fry pan place butter and oil and heat to medium temperature, until
butter melts. Add chicken and cook, turning, about 10 minutes or until brown on
all sides. Remove chicken and place in baking pan or casserole. In same fry pan
saute mushrooms about 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour. Add soup, wine
and water; simmer, stirring, about 10 minutes or until sauce thickens. Stir in
cream, salt, tarragon and pepper; pour over chicken. Bake uncovered in 350
degree oven for 60 minutes. Mix in artichoke hearts. I usually use chicken

5 more minutes or until fork can be inserted in chicken with east.
