Directions
Chicken Breasts and Tarragon En Papillote (France), This recipes comes from the 2005 cookbook, The French Diet , I really enjoyed this The chicken was very tender and juicy, but the star of the show was the sauce I loved the tang of the mustard mixed with the cooking juices! Very easy, and pretty, too used a whole bone in breast (personal preference) so my chicken took a bit longer to cook, but that wasn’t a problem as I expected it to take a bit longer Next time I might add a few slivers of sun dried tomato for a bit of sweetness Thanks for posting!
