This is a great sauce for fish! I made with dill rather than tarragon (since I didn't have any) and served it over snapper. Was a nice light sauce that didn't overpower the fish. Made for Football Pool 2012-13 Win.

Loved this sauce, especially that it is low fat but still so full of flavor. This one is going into my "Best of 2013". I really love a sauce over my meats, especially dryer ones like bs chicken breasts but they usually add a lot of fat. I seasoned my chicken breast with the seasoning from my recipe#220870 and then grilled them and served topped with the sauce along with green beans and sourdough bread, yummy!!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Made for your win in the football pool, congrats again!!

I enjoyed these over a piece of fresh caught amberjack, and the mushrooms were wonderful! My sauce was a bit thick....think my chicken broth evaporated too fast, so next time I'll make sure my skillet is a bit cooler. Beautiful topping for fish or chicken.....or maybe even a baked potato. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe. Made for ZWT8.

I wouldn't have believed this was low fat if I hadn't seen the nutrition info. The sauce was rich and flavorful, perfect for a chicken breast or a piece of fish (I used cod).I used fresh tarragon from my garden, about a teaspoon instead of the 1/4 teaspoon of dried that was called for. I also served 3 easily with this amount, which made the calories even lower. I'd like to try it with some fancy wild mushrooms when they come into season- they would just send this one over the moon! Thanks for posting a wonderful sauce that even a dieter can enjoy with zero guilt!
