Chicken with Tarragon Cream Sauce

My family loves this recipe. It one of the top 10 recipe I make ! Yum!!!

Replaced the cream with half & half, which decreased calories and didn't seem to mess with consistency of sauce. I agree with another user who said the roux wasn't really necessary; I added it, but the consistency seemed thicker than picture. I probably overdid it measuring the peas, which didn't help.Otherwise, I thought the lemon was well balanced and overall the sauce was the best part of the dish. Would recommend either cutting the roux or increasing chicken broth and/or cream to improve consistency. Would probably make again, with some tweaks.Pros: Flavorful sauceCons: Sauce seemed too thick

Loved it. But is this really a diet meal? Made this tonight with a side of steamed broccoli. This was listed on the 1200 calorie/day diet plan and I was shocked to see something that called for butter, flour and oil. It was delicious though. Cons: Takes a while to prepare, lots of steps.

Lemony Awesome! This recipe is awesome! My family loved it. Good combination of lemon, butter, cream & chicken.

very easy. don't need a recipe for thisI love lemon too and I thought it was NOT overdone. Pretty basic recipe meaning; saute chix, add stock, the lemon cream. Don't really need the roux, add peas then chpd tarragon. Pretty simple but tastyPros: simple

Wonderfully moist chicken This was a wonderful weeknight meal. My husband made it and served it with a salad. Loved it. To try again, but add a little less salt. Pros: flavorful, fairly easy to make, moist chicken, loved the peas Cons: a little too salty

The chicken turned out well and was juicy, but I did not care for the sauce. Won't make again.

Excellent!I've made this several times for hubby & me. We love it!! I cut the recipe in half, of course, for the two of us. I only use 2 Tbs. of lemon juice (which is what my small to medium sized lemon half yields), and it's perfect! The chicken is juicy and ends up perfectly cooked. The sauce - oh, the sauce is to die for!! I only ended up using 1/4 tsp of the butter/flour paste to thicken the sauce! Really wonderful dish. We had ours with the Roasted Carrots in Cardamon Butter, also from this site (which was super great!), and it was wonderful! Pretty healthy too. If you wanted to cut the fat from the recipe you could use fat free sour cream in the sauce, too. However, for four servings, the amount of fat from the cream & scant amount of butter is really minimal. You DO need SOME fat in your diet to metabolize certain vitamins adequately after all!Pros: Easy, Delicious, Healthy!

Easy and DeliciousThis was such an easy and delicious recipe. The lemon added a touch of brightness. Those complaining about lemon must have used a very large lemon. I used fresh tarragon rather than dried since it was available. This is a very nice 'go to' recipe. The only minus is that's it rather rich so I wouldn't make it often if watching my waistline. I served mine with noodles, asparagus and a nice wine.Pros: Easy, deliciousCons: rich, high in calories
