Spray 2-quart saucepan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Cook mushrooms and shallots in saucepan about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender. Stir in flour and bouillon granules. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly; remove from heat.

Gradually stir in half-and-half. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken, wine and tarragon; reduce heat to low. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Spoon over toast. Sprinkle with cheese.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
By using chicken instead of lobster, fat-free half-and-half in place of rich cream and no butter for sautéing, classic Lobster Thermidor is transformed into this exquisite, good-for-you entrée.
