    Delicious looking recipe. Try some snipped tarragon in scrambled eggs. I love tarragon and try to use it anyway I can. The dry can be very expensive. Fresh is always the best.

    This looks delicious. It’s breakfast time here but I could gobble up that whole plateful of fabulous food. Love tarragon, I just don’t have enough recipes that use it. I feel so “French” whenever I eat though.

      I am pretty happy with this herb. I am glad I gave it another chance. Wish me luck with growing it. I do so well with propagating basil like you showed me. If only I can have half the luck with tarragon.

    Chicken and tarragon is one of my favorite combinations. I just made a very similar recipe recently because my tarragon plant is thriving. I haven’t posted about it because I couldn’t get a good picture. Your photo is outstanding Madonna!

    This is my favorite way to have chicken! I discovered it when I lived in France, but there it was always Guinea hen….equally delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I am filing it away for next time! Hugs…Debbie

    Mmm. Your dish looks delicious. Tarragon has never been a favourite of mine, either. Perhaps I need to try it fresh, as you’ve recommended.

      Lorrie, please try fresh herbs. They just bump up the flavor so much. I try now to only use oregano in the dried form. Thanks for stopping by.

    Your chicken looks delicious and I love fresh tarragon. I think it’s an underused herb and wish more people would give it a try.

    What a beautiful chicken dish and I love that it goes together so quickly. Don’t have any tarragon in my herb garden this year but I can buy a fresh little bouquet at the grocery store.

      Cathy, the fresh tarragon is so delicate, I would encourage you if you have an herb garden to add it as soon as you can. Also, this dish does go together quickly and that makes me very happy. Thank you for visiting.

      I am very lucky, we have 4 TJs in our neighborhood, but we do have our issues. There has been a stone-fruit recall in all our markets including WholeFoods and TJs. I am on a search for a Farmers Market because I can’t go without some peaches and plums.

    There are so many great French dishes for chicken that are variations of this one! But flavoring with tarragon is my favorite. I agree dried tarragon isn’t worth using — no taste. Fresh is quite good, however. As is this recipe! Thanks so much.

      Thanks for your input John. I have been surprised at how many knew about fresh tarragon. I find the dried bitter. I guess that is why I did not care for it.
