Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

The cooking time really depends on the size of the chicken breasts.

Tarragon is quite a strong herb, unless you are familiar with the flavour, don't add too much extra. You can use fresh tarragon, substitute 2 teaspoons of fresh per ½ teaspoon of dried.

We always serve with roast potatoes, so we can dip them into the sauce.
