Slice each chicken breast in half, positioning your knife parallel to the cutting board so you end up with 4 thin cutlets. Generously season the chicken cutlets with salt on all sides. Add the flour to a plate and coat each chicken cutlet in flour on both sides. Heat the oil in a large (12") skillet over high. Arrange the chicken cutlets in the pan and sear for 4 to 6 minutes, until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom. Partially cover to contain some of the splattering. Flip and continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed. Transfer the seared chicken cutlets to a plate. Add the parsnips, apples, shallot and 1/4 cup of apple cider and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the apples and shallots are softened and slightly darker in color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tarragon, remaining 1-1/2 cups apple cider and a hefty pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer. Partially cover with a lid and vigorously simmer over medium heat for 8 minutes, until the apple cider has slightly thickened and reduced in volume and the apples and parsnips have softened. Add the seared chicken to the skillet and continue simmering for 2 minutes. Turn the broiler on high. Place the skillet under the broiler and broil for 2 minutes, until the chicken, apples, and parsnips develop darker spots throughout. Serve the cutlets with the apples and parsnips spooned on top.
