I've had Tarragon growing in our garden for about a year now, I was excited about it when I got a little plant from food swap but it occured to me the other day that I've hardly used it for cooking.
I went in search of a recipe that would showcase the Tarragon and came up with this Tarragon Chicken recipe which not only turned out to be super easy and yummy but I actually had all the ingredients on hand!
First thing was to chop up an onion and gently cook it in a non-stick pan with a little oil and 2 cloves of Garlic, then I added Chicken Thigh Fillets and browned them on both sides. I added half a cup of White Wine, a cup and a half of Chicken Stock and simmered for about 20 minutes.
I mixed 2 teaspoons of Cornflour with a little stock, stirred it into the Chicken mixture and cooked it for about 2 minutes, then I added half a cup of Sour Cream and 2 tablespoons of Tarragon Leaves. Once this has warmed through its ready!I served the Chicken with Potatoes, carrots and (much to my son's disgust!) Brussels Sprouts, everyone loved the chicken!



Very impressive Linda....I reckon this would be nice with mash potatoe :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with your son, drop the brussel sprouts :p
I guess you could dry that herb as well??
Thanks Chris! I might try drying some of the Tarragon.
ReplyDeleteLinda, give the drying a go. I'm considering making some drying bags for certain people's christmas gifts. Without them, it's a bit messy and you lose alot of the leaves.
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious and so simple too! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, I really love your blog!
