TARRAGON CHICKEN
This is a quick-time version of the classic French poulet a l'estragon (though you could speed it up further by bashing out the chicken breast or by using a turkey cutlet in its place, which would make this dish pleasingly alliterative) and is an instant reminder of the comforts of old-school cooking. Tender chicken (it's the poaching early on that sees to this), aromatically fresh and insistently herbal tarragon, a generous splosh of vermouth, all rounded off by rich, pale cream: this has the nostalgic, yet robust, charm of that French bistro of fond memory or happy imaginings. If you can't get fresh tarragon, do not despair: just double the freeze-dried tarragon at the start and add some freshly chopped parsley at the end. And I can assure you it would be worth your while considering a teaspoon of tarragon mustard, too, along with the cream. About which, please don't wimp out on me: this is old-fashioned cooking which cannot be proscribed by new-age dietary concerns. But, if you insist, halve the cream, and add another 2 tablespoons of vermouth when you're pouring the rest in after the chicken's had its first 5 minutes cooking. Eat with a tumbled mixture of French or green beans and asparagus tips along with steamed baby white-skinned potatoes or, hard to beat for me, some white basmati rice forked through with a soupcon of butter and freshly ground white pepper.

Steps:
- Heat the garlic oil in a frying pan or Dutch oven that has a lid and in which the chicken breasts will fit pretty snugly. Add the scallions, stir, then sprinkle in the freeze-dried tarragon, stir again and cook them in the garlic oil for a minute, stirring some more as they cook.
- Put the chicken fillets into the pan, curved side down, and cook for 5 minutes, watching the scallions don't burn. If they look like they're beginning to, scrape them from the pan and let them sit on the chicken pieces.
- Turn over the breasts, and add the vermouth (or white wine). Let the vermouth bubble up, then add the salt. Put the lid on, turn the heat down low and leave it to simmer gently for 10 minutes. Check the chicken is cooked through by making a small cut into the thickest part and ensuring the juices run clear - if not, simmer for a few minutes longer and check again.
- Remove the chicken breasts to warmed plates. Bring the remaining liquid to a boil, add the cream and stir well, then sprinkle in the fresh tarragon, stir again and give a good grind of white pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts, and give a final scattering of tarragon to serve.

CREAMY TARRAGON CHICKEN
This is a simple dish to prepare, which is a real plus for all you busy parents with hectic week-night schedules. And I think--or at least I hope--you'll agree that the combination of ingredients form a well-rounded taste sensation with a delectable tarragon cream sauce to serve over your tender chicken breasts. And you can even use the extra sauce to drizzle over a side dish of fresh asparagus or other vegetable dish. Prep time does NOT include the 3 hours of marinating the chicken breasts in the refrigerator (because marinating time can be reduced if you are short on time).

CHICKEN BREASTS IN A TARRAGON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:
- Season the chicken breast halves lightly (and I do mean lightly, as you don't want to overpower the tarragon), and place them in a saucepan large enough to spread them out in one layer. Pour over the wine and chicken broth (add more broth if neceesary to cover the chicken), and then add the dried tarragon and the garlic.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Using a sieve, strain the cooking liquid into a small saucepan. Skim off that fat and boil until reduced by about two thirds or so. Really concentrate that flavour.
- Add the heavy cream and boil to reduce the whole mixture by about half. Again, it's all about concentrating that flavour.
- Slice the chicken into strips about one-inch thick, and then share out the sauce among each serving.

TARRAGON CREAM CHICKEN
This came from Cooking Pleasures Magazine, March 2008. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks easy and yummy. If you don't have tenders, you can substitute boneless, skinless breasts, but you may need to cook a bit longer. For a dish with a little more zing, add 2 teaspoons of course ground mustard with the cream. Updated 7/28/11: I made this for dinner last night, and the family loved it! I used the optional mustard, and it really made the sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Browning the chicken. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large (10 to 12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Using tongs, carefully lower the chicken breasts into the pan and cook them for about 1 minute on each side just until hey begin to brown slightly. Transfer the still-raw chicken to a plate.
- 2. Poaching in cream. Reduce the heat under the skillet to low. Add the shallot and cook, stirring constantly, until softened but not browned, less than 1 minute. Add the vermouth and cook for 30 seconds, then add the cream and half the tarragon. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and adjust the heat so that the cream gently simmers. Cover and cook until the chicken is firm and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. To check for doneness, cut into the thickest part of a breast with a paring knife ¿ there should be no sign of pink or translucence.
- 3. Finishing. Transfer the chicken breasts to a warmed serving platter or individual dinner plates. The sauce should be thick enough to lightly coat a spoon. If it is too thin, continue to simmer it for about 1 minute and it will thicken. Stir in the remaining tarragon and the lemon juice, then taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve right away with buttered egg noodles.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200C/fan 180C
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and add chicken breasts, skin side down.
- Cook the skin side of the breasts until the skin is nice and crispy and golden brown. Turn over to seal the other side of the chicken breast (for about 2-3mins.) Once the chicken is sealed on all sides, transfer to a shallow roasting tin/dish and cover tightly with foil. Cook the chicken in the oven for 20-25 mins. Slice into each breast to check they are cooked through and then transfer to a warm plate and cover with foil to rest whilst you make the sauce.
- For the sauce, dry fry the bacon or pancetta in a medium sized saucepan until crispy. Add the chicken stock and boil to reduce by half. Add the Creme Fraiche and the chopped tarragon and check for seasoning (you may only need pepper due to the saltiness of the bacon/pancetta, so check before adding any extra salt.) Add the lemon juice and stir through.
- Slice the chicken breasts and arrange on a plate and drizzle the sauce over the meat, and any extra can be served in a jug on the table.
- I served this on a bed of sliced Savoy cabbage, cooked with butter and sliced onions, and roasted new potatoes on the side.

- In a medium frying pan, heat the butter over moderate heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper and add it to the pan. Cook the chicken until brown, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook until just done, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove the chicken from the pan and put it in a warm spot.

- Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are golden and caramelised, before turning them over. The best way to achieve a nice colour on the chicken is to not move the chicken too often.
- Once the chicken is golden and caramelised on both sides, remove them to a plate. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked through at this stage.

- Prepare Chicken: Flatten chicken breasts by placing one chicken breast at a time between sheets of plastic wrap. Use the flat side of a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound the chicken out. Once the chicken is flattened to about 1/4"thickness, set it aside; Slice each flattened piece of chicken in half length-wise, then cut each half into 3 pieces. Season chicken with salt/pepper.
- Cook Chicken: Melt butter in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bottom side is golden brown; turn chicken over; cook for 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove chicken to oven-proof plate, cover, keep pieces warm (we used 200°F. oven). **DO NOT CLEAN THE SKILLET OUT (will use it to make sauce)
- Make Sauce: Sauté sliced green onions in leftover butter in skillet on medium-low heat until they become tender (about 2 minutes). Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried tarragon to skillet and stir, to combine. Pour whipping cream into skillet. Whisk or stir the sauce well, while continuing to cook on medium-low heat. Cook the sauce until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook sauce 4-5 more minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly, and is fully heated through. Remove the sauce from the heat.
- To Serve: Place prepared rice onto each dinner plate. Spread the rice out, so it becomes the base for the chicken and sauce. Place 3-4 pieces of warm chicken on top of rice, and spoon hot creamy sauce over each piece to cover. Enjoy!

Add them to the skillet, skin side down, and cook over moderately high heat until browned on the bottom, about 6 minutes. Turn the breasts and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and swirl to melt. Put the skillet in the oven and roast the chicken for about 8 minutes, until just cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the cremini mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the morels and cook, stirring, until they start to darken, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and simmer over moderately high heat until reduced to 3 tablespoons, about 3 minutes.
