Chicken with a creamy tarragon sauce
I based this meal on a recipe from BBC Good food website. As usual I didn't have the right ingredients, so I substituted the asparagus for mushrooms and fresh tarragon for dried tarragon. I remembered about my fondness for tarragon sauce after a lovely meal at a family wedding at the weekend. The food was exceptional at the Black Swan in Helmsley, North Yorkshire.
Ingredients
Pour over the stock, add 2 sprigs of tarragon and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 mins, then turn the chicken, add the asparagus and cook for 3 mins more. Chop the remaining tarragon.
Stir the crème fraîche and tarragon into the pan with the chicken and heat through, stirring, for a few secs. Serve with the new potatoes.
Ingredients
Serves 4
500g baby new potatoes, halved
4 skinless Chicken breasts
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
350ml chicken stock
small bunch tarragon (dried was fine)
A handful of button mushrooms, chopped
3 tbsp reduced-fat crème fraîche
500g baby new potatoes, halved
4 skinless Chicken breasts
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
350ml chicken stock
small bunch tarragon (dried was fine)
A handful of button mushrooms, chopped
3 tbsp reduced-fat crème fraîche
Method
Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water for 8-10 mins until tender, then drain and keep warm in the pan. Season the chicken with ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Gently fry the chicken with the onion and garlic for 5 mins until both are lightly browned. Turn over the chicken once and stir the onion regularly.Pour over the stock, add 2 sprigs of tarragon and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 mins, then turn the chicken, add the asparagus and cook for 3 mins more. Chop the remaining tarragon.
Stir the crème fraîche and tarragon into the pan with the chicken and heat through, stirring, for a few secs. Serve with the new potatoes.
