Juicy chicken, sweet carrots and a smooth cream sauce combine to create a flavoursome dish that is perfect for busy weekdays and family dinners. Ready in about half an hour, this meal adds a little something special to traditional everyday cooking.

What makes tarragon chicken special?

The star of this recipe is fresh tarragon, whose refined herbal flavour gives the creamy sauce a distinctive character. Dijon mustard adds a pleasant sharpness, garlic and onion bring depth, and carrots provide a gentle sweetness. The creamy sauce soaks beautifully into the boiled potatoes, which are finished with butter. The chicken makes the meal filling and rich in protein, while lactose-free cooking cream also suits those following a lactose-free diet.

How to succeed easily and adapt the recipe

Boil the potatoes in salted water until just tender so that they retain their texture and do not become watery. Slice the carrots thinly so they cook quickly together with the chicken. Brown the chicken properly first, but avoid overcooking it so the meat stays juicy. Add some of the fresh tarragon only when finishing the servings to preserve its fresh flavour. You can replace the chicken with turkey or a plant-based strip product, and swap the potatoes for wholegrain rice.

The best serving ideas for tarragon chicken

Serve the chicken with plenty of sauce and boiled potatoes finished with butter. A fresh green salad, steamed peas or cucumber salad will add colour and lightness to the meal. Portion the food onto individual plates or serve the chicken and sauce from a large pan, family-style. Finish the servings with chopped tarragon and a pinch of black pepper. Fresh lemon water or an alcohol-free herbal sparkling water makes a refreshing accompaniment.
