This was so easy and delicious! I added one clove minced garlic when browning the chicken and it really gave it a great "boost" in flavor. Will make this recipe again!

This was WONDERFUL!!! I used chicken tenders instead of breasts (that's what I had), served over rice with sauce. Almost too easy:) This will definitely be made again at this house!! Thanks!

Very tasty. Very easy. Very quick. I was impressed with the "resturant quality" flavor...it didn't taste like the every day meals we normally have. It was after dark when I started dinner, so I didn't go clip fresh tarragon from the garden, I just used 1 teaspoon of dried instead. Also, I don't use cream but it worked fine with 2% milk. After removing the chicken from the pan, I stirred in about 1 teaspoon of flour with the oil/butter before adding the milk so it would be thicker. I would add less flour next time, maybe it is not needed. I plan to double the suace in the furture for the same amount of chicken so that it can go on my rice or potatoes too. :)
