This delicious creamy chicken dish is pure luxury. It is quite high in calories, but could easily fit into a 5pm plan day or have it as a treat on Weekender. Or you could reduce the calories by having less potatoes.
Tarragon and Mustard are strong flavours, so if you have never tried this kind of sauce before, you may want to use a little less, just so it doesn’t over power your palate.
