Chicken with tarragon cream sauce
Tender chicken breasts are seared to perfection and coated in a luxurious, velvety white wine and tarragon cream sauce. A hint of honey balances the savoury depth and herbal freshness beautifully. Serve alongside roasted potatoes or vegetables to soak up the rich sauce.
