Excellent dish!!! Definite keeper!!! I made a few additions. I like things a little spicy so I added about a tablespoon of pepper to the flour. I doubled the sauce and since I didn't know what kind of side dish to serve I added veggies to this. I added 16 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms to the onions and sauteed. I added a 14 ounce can artichoke hearts when I added the cream. Great one dish meal.This would also be good over pasta

This one is really delicious! I followed the recipe except for adding another T of shallots. The chicken is tender and juicy. The sauce is wonderful! All I added to this for dinner was steamed asparagus and dinner rolls. Great!! Thank you Lennie :-)

This is soooo good!! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts. It was easy to make. I had it with a baked potato. The leftovers were really good for lunch today. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks Lennie for a great recipe. I didn't know tarragon was so good.

Wow! I have been searching for this recipe for years. I made in the early 90's, then lost the recipe. So happy to have found, one of my favs!
