This is excellent!!! Very tasty. I could taste both the lemon juice and the tarragon, yet neither one was overpowering. All of the flavors blended very well together. I used chicken thighs because I don't care for the breast. I am allergic to wine, so I subbed chicken bullion for it. This deserves 5 stars but since I changed a couple of ingredients, I don't know how it tastes made as written. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for PAC Fall '07.
