About

I’m experiencing an incredible burst of spring fever – the warm weather combined with my gardens bursting with blooms has done me in! My tarragon is a full 5 inches high already, so I’m going to make this dish for dinner. You can add the peas to this dish for some added vegetables or just make the chicken with the flavorful tarragon cream sauce. I like it served over a very hearty rice like this Minnesota wild rice. This recipe originally appeared in the May, 2006 issue of Buzz in the ‘burbs that featured recipes with 5 or less ingredients (not including oil, salt or pepper), so you know it’s an easy weeknight dinner!
