Tip

Serve on a bed of rice with a green salad or steamed vegetables.

The subtle flavour of  tarragon can be masked by the stock concentrate, therefore chicken stock is preferable. You could add more tarragon.

  • I was really looking forward

    Submitted by Pam Moffat on 5. November 2013 - 19:08.

    I was really looking forward to this but opted for the ver juice and vinegar substitute. It went wrong as I didn't get the balance right and it was too heavy on the vinegar, I had used 50/50. Can you please tell me what proportions you use as I am keen to get this right. tmrc_emoticons.((

    Submitted by annebarnes on 13. May 2013 - 20:16.

    You know ribbons of zucchini and carrot are my favourite ways of having those two vegies now. I first had them done that way at a demo a month or so ago. Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it. - Anne tmrc_emoticons.)

    Great dish. Thank you! I used chicken breast. We served it with rice and ribbons of carrot and zucchini done in the varoma then laid over the top of the dish. Would be nice with just steamed potato and other veggies too.

  • Hi Panoukla, Thanks for the

    Submitted by annebarnes on 17. April 2013 - 09:49.

    Hi Panoukla, Thanks for the comments. I would be interested to know how coconut cream goes. Traditionally French cooking does use a lot of cream even double cream. I had thought to use natural yoghurt (home made of course), but if you have been following my posts lately, you would see I have been using vanilla yoghurt as a starter and that definitely would not go. Time to finish the vanilla and get back to the plain yoghurt. I'll give it a go and report back. Regards Anne tmrc_emoticons.)

  • Loved this dish Anne, I did

    Submitted by Panoukla on 2. March 2013 - 13:19.

    Loved this dish Anne, I did add a little more tarragon and also lightly pan fried the chicken before adding to the sauce just to give it a bit of colour. Served with coconut rice it was very tasty. Might try substituting coconut cream for the cream next time,what do you think??  Cooking 9  tmrc_emoticons.)
