I really enjoyed this! The flavor of the ground coriander really made an impact in this dish. It's one of my favorite herbs, and added a lot of depth to the flavor. I was also very pleased to use the fresh tarragon from my herb garden. I used thighs this time, and it was a great combination of flavors. Made for PRMR.

We totally loved this. I used the dried tarragon and grilled in on our bbq while on a short RV trip. I used fresh cilantro. The chicken does come out so moist. This is a keeper and will be made again. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for a great new way to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. We loved the taste of the fresh tarragon in this. I used the oven and was pleasantly surprised at how tender and moist they turned out. Next time I'll try the grill.

This was great! I marinated my chicken for three hours and they were so moist. I will definitely make this again but next time I would add a bit of paprika and maybe some chili powder for some heat.
