  12       oz           Chicken breast
   2       tb           Butter
   1       lb           Raw shrimp -- peeled and

  Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion, celery, carrot, 1 ts

  Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, and dried tarragon. Add salt

  Meanwhile, cut away all membranes and fat attached to the chicken

  Melt the butter in a skillet and, when it is quite hot but not
  brown, add the chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  Cook, stirring to separate the pieces, about 45 seconds. Add the
  shrimp and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 1 minute.
  
  Add the remaining shallots, and sprinkle over the cognac. Add the
  fresh tarragon and parsley. Stir in the tomato sauce and bring to a
  boil. Then serve.
