    Wonderful recipe - thank you for posting!! I made this years ago for my husband, and he recently said "remember that tarragon, stuffed chicken thing that you made...", but I couldn't remember from where I'd gotten it, so was hunting for somthing similar, so was thrilled to find this exact one here!! Thank you! Can't wait to surprise him with it again! I think that definitely classifies it as 5 stars if DH remembers it from 7 or 8 years ago... :)

    Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Cheese-Tarragon Sauce, The come from the cookbook What’s For Dinner? A delicious meal that also freezes well , Wonderful recipe – thank you for posting!! I made this years ago for my husband, and he recently said remember that tarragon, stuffed chicken thing that you made , but I couldn’t remember from where I’d gotten it, so was hunting for somthing similar, so was thrilled to find this exact one here!! Thank you! Can’t wait to surprise him with it again! I think that definitely classifies it as 5 stars if DH remembers it from 7 or 8 years ago :), This is really the most elegant dish, worthy of serving to kings, picky friends or mother-in-laws It’s a lot of work, I thought, but not so hard you can’t do it if you just follow the directions And well worth the trouble The tarragon stands out beautifully, making the sauce something quite different than you’d expect Lovely to look at — even lovlier to taste Thanks so much! Oh, and I substituted olive oil for butter — no problem
