This was excellent. I made it exactly as directed and loved it. I may experiment next time I make it by lightly breading the chicken bundles prior to sauteing. I love tarragon and this was such a great dish for this herb. I was asked by 2 of my guests for the recipe and immediately directed them to zaar. Thanks for a keeper.
