This dish was really yummy - a nice thick sauce full of vegetables and tender chicken who could ask for more? Me - I could have eaten seconds and thirds.
The flavour was impressive - the meatiness of the chicken, the vegetables and the tarragon all in every mouthful brought back memories of food my mother used to cook.... mmmmm!
Served with crunchy bread this was a perfect mid week dinner that was enjoyed by all.
