This dish is divine, so easy to prepare, but tastes as if you have been slaving over a hot stove all day. I used fresh tarragon, and half and half instead of the heavy cream. Served with garlic mashed potatoes, green beans and fresh tomato slices drizzled with olive oil and torn basil.Totally yum !

Absolutely wonderful - and easy as well! Definitely fresh tarragon if possible because it does make a big difference. A great company entree and so quickly made. Thanks currybunny.
