Cooking Tips

• You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for a richer flavor.
• If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can use dried tarragon, but reduce the amount by half.
• Feel free to add vegetables like carrots, peas, or mushrooms to the casserole for extra flavor and nutrition.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
