Cooking Tips

• Make sure to season the chicken well with salt and pepper before cooking.
• Use fresh tarragon for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tarragon, you can use dried tarragon, but reduce the amount by half.
• If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little more chicken broth or white wine.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Saucy Tarragon Chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the chicken and sauce in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
• Serve the reheated Saucy Tarragon Chicken over rice or with crusty bread.
